Concerning Harrah's recent full-page ad in your newspaper titled "Setting the Record Straight," there was one statement in particular I found laughable.

In response to Harrah's refusal to grant their Atlantic City employees a three-year contract, the ad states management does not feel this would be "in the best interest of union members."

Do Harrah's managers honestly think we believe they make any business decisions based on anything but what is best for their company? Companies will always put their own best interests first -- that is why we have unions.
