The Union representing the lottery workers say they could beat Camelots projected profits with the team they have now, despite the news most of them would be laid off.
The Pennsylvania Lottery will continue benefiting older pennsylvanians, but when Camelot takes over, lottery employees will be affected.
Representatives spoke at Monday's hearing against Camelots takeover. "We already have the equipment the staff and the expertise to keep this work in house and expand gaming if it is found legal."
They say they first heard of Camelots plans in November. "Everybody's heard the phrase, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Since this thing started we've heard it a lot more."
AFSCME told those at the Senate hearing about 70 of the 240 Lottery employees could keep their jobs. Camelot officials said they hope to work with current lottery staff, saying their people are their asset. "We would work in collaboration with the existing lottery team to develop our plan and work with the existing team, work their data and once the contract is executed, there will be a one year employee transition."
There will be a year of an employee transition and they would begin working as soon as the contract is executed, to figure out which employees will be interviewed or scheduled.
Camelot says that 80% of the work force would be based in Pennsylvania and could bring a couple people from the UK to run it.
