The Atlantic & Cape May County AFL-CIO Central Labor Council dedicates this Workers Memorial Monument to honor all union workers who lost their lives on the job since the establishment of the casino industry in Atlantic City.
The new monument and its commemorative inscriptions have been rededicated with a bronze statue at its new location to honor the memory of those who died on October 30, 2003 at the Tropicana garage collapse.
The officers and delegates of the central labor council wish to thank the city of Atlantic City, the unions and their members, contractors, businesses, casinos and the residents of Atlantic and Cape May Counties who contributed to the creation of this beautiful tribute.
We would especially like to thank the casino reinvestment development authority for their generosity.
