PALMER -- A company hoping to open a casino in western Massachusetts has reached a deal with a federation of about 50 labor unions to allow future employees to form a union and negotiate contracts.
The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority finalized the agreement with the Pioneer Valley AFL-CIO to cover employees at a casino it wants to build on a 150-acre site just of the Massachusetts Turnpike in Palmer.
The move could give the authority, which runs the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut and another in Pennsylvania, an advantage in the pursuit of the only casino license in western Massachusetts.
The Republican reports that the Mohegan authority's chief executive says his company recognizes "the importance of preserving worker rights to organize."
At least three companies have proposed a casino in Springfield.
