New Jersey Worker Union Complains Recently Bankrupt Casino Using Too Many Part-Time Jobs

To summarize: a state- and taxpayer-subsidized casino opens, files for bankruptcy in under 12 months, reopens... and is criticized for operating in a way that will prevent it from filing for bankruptcy in another 12 months? Alas, while the trend toward a "part-time" society, first exposed here in 2010 and subsequently accepted as gospel even by the slowest, dimmest and most sycophantic corners of the MSM, is nothing new, we had yet to see labor unions - those staunchest supporters of the very same policies that promote the conversion of full-time into part-time workers - lash out against the manifestations of these very policies. Of course, at the very bottom of this is toxic loop is just the fundamental malaise affecting the US economy or what is left of it: pervasive, unavoidable central planning by the state and the central bank, both of which are inexorably and increasingly becoming the dominant player in not only balance sheet but also income statement decisions by virtually every private sector player.
