Las Vegas Casinos Dodge Strike Threat with Tentative Deals

A tentative labor deal has been reached between the Culinary union and Caesars Entertainment to avert a potential strike at its nine casinos along the Las Vegas Strip, covering 10,000 union members. However, nine other casinos still face possible walkouts. The details of the agreement are not yet available, but it will be presented to rank-and-file members for a ratification vote. Negotiations with other casino operators are scheduled, and if a deal is not reached by Friday morning, a strike by 25,000 workers would be the largest in the US hospitality industry's history.
