A 27-year-old Atlantic City Hotel and Casino will issue notices to its employees announcing its closure on Friday, according to Unite HERE Local 54 President Bob McDevitt.
McDevitt confirmed the move to NBC10's Ted Greenberg Thursday evening.
He says WARN Act notices will be given to the Showboat's 2,000-plus employees Friday.
WARN offers protection to workers, their families and communities by requiring employers to provide 60 days notice of the planned closure of a business, according to the New Jersey State Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
The Showboat Hotel and Casino is located at 801 Boardwalk. They're the second casino to close this year. The Atlantic Club closed its doors for good in January. Revel Casino is also on the verge of closing, unless it finds a buyer.
Atlantic City casino earnings fell 35-percent in 2013.
