Employees’ ability to provide for their families was eroded after the 2008 leveraged buyout of Caesars and protracted bankruptcy proceedings, the union said. With the casino group on firmer financial footing, Unite Here said it wants to establish a new working relationship with the company.

A Caesars spokesman said he had not yet seen the letter.

The union in its letter also asked Caesars to come to the bargaining table with proposals on issues such as health care, training, retirement and safety.

The union also urged Caesars to provide additional protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and immigration status.

President Donald Trump last month ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protected those brought to the country illegally as children, and is considering ending the Temporary Protected Status program, which applies to more than 300,000 people.

Unite Here said hundreds of workers on the Strip have TPS status, which allows nationals of certain countries already in the United States to remain and work.

Last August, billionaire investor Carl Icahn shut the Trump Taj Mahal casino after a strike with Unite Here’s Atlantic City chapter. The casino had been struggling amid a broader gambling slowdown in the New Jersey beach resort.

On Wednesday, shares of Casesars were down 10 cents, or 0.81 percent, to close at $12.25.
