Low Wage, Low Skilled Casino Jobs

The Labour group also argued that the casino
could create much needed jobs for young
people in the borough.


Oh? Where have we heard this fantasy before?
On Beacon Hill?

[Cllr Arnold] “I really don’t think that is an
ambition that we want for our children.

“Casino work is low skilled and low paid, that’s

not my ambition for Thurrock.”

The Tories argued that allowing casinos would
encourage people desperate for cash in a
recession, to gamble and get into serious debt.

Deputy leader of the council cllr Amanda Arnold
said: “I don’t think it’s right to encourage
people to gamble, at a time of financial
desperation, because they really can’t see a
way out.”


These are some of the many reasons United to Stop Slots in Massachusetts raised to oppose predatory gambling.
.
In the end, the council voted NOT to allow a casino.
