Tentative Deals Reached to Avert Las Vegas Hotel Worker Strikes

A tentative contract is close to being reached between the Las Vegas hotel workers union and MGM Resorts International, following a breakthrough deal with Caesars Entertainment. The contract, which is pending approval by the union's rank and file, would cover 20,000 hospitality workers and is expected to address concerns such as pay increases to combat inflation. The union had threatened to strike if negotiations failed, but the tentative agreement with Caesars has provided momentum for new contracts for all 35,000 members. However, a strike could still occur if deals are not made with MGM Resorts and Wynn Resorts by Friday morning.
