Government Regulation of Labor-Management Corruption: The Casino Industry Experience in New Jersey

Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of New Jersey's 1977 law controlling the casino industry and its unions. Based on interviews with casino managers, union representatives, state regulatory agency officials, and attorneys, the authors conclude that the Casino Control Commission has kept casino ownership and management free from organized crime, but only by means of stringent, unpopular regulations, such as licensing requirements that can delay the hiring of casino dealers for months. The Commission has been less successful in policing unions, partly, the authors argue, because of federal laws protecting unions. For example, union officials who are removed from office because of alleged associations with crime organizations can be (and have been) rehired by the union as consultants.
