Las Vegas Workers Brace for Possible Strike as Culinary Union Nears Contract Negotiations End

The largest culinary union in Las Vegas, representing 35,000 hospitality workers, is entering its final round of negotiations with major resort companies. If no agreement is reached by Friday at 5 a.m., union members are prepared to strike, which would impact 18 casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. The union is cautiously optimistic about the negotiations and hopes the strike deadline, just days before Formula One comes to town, will add pressure for a contract agreement to be reached.
