Proposed legislation could allow about 300 Atlantic City casino regulators to join a union. The state Senate Labor Committee is scheduled to consider a bill that would allow Casino Control Commission employees to drop their „confidential employee“ designation and unionize. Under current state law, the designation is for public employees whose jobs or employment knowledge would make them incompatible to join a union.

Atlantic City, New Jersey (AP) — A fire damaged part of the state Casino Control Commission headquarters Sunday, but gambling in the city should not be affected, a spokesman said. No injuries were reported. The fire destroyed a building across the street that housed retail shops, said commission spokesman Daniel Heneghan. At the headquarters, six large windows were blown out, and smoke caused some problems, he said.
