Culinary Union Strike Shakes Las Vegas Hospitality Sector

The Culinary Workers Union has initiated an open-ended strike at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, marking the first such action in 22 years, as hundreds of hospitality workers demand a new contract with better wages and benefits. Despite financial hardships, union members are committed to the strike, which follows a previous 48-hour walkout earlier this year. The union, representing 60,000 members, has reached agreements with other major hotel-casinos, but negotiations with Virgin Hotels have stalled over pay disputes.

Unionized Las Vegas Hotel Workers Secure New Contracts with Higher Pay

Culinary Union workers at Caesars, MGM, and Wynn resorts in Las Vegas will see significant pay increases under their new 5-year contracts. Non-tipped workers will receive a raise of about $3 per hour, while tipped employees will receive about $1.50. After deductions for health, pension, and other union funds, the first-year pay raise equates to $2.60 per hour. The economic package includes raises ranging from $1.40 to $1.70 in subsequent years. The retroactive back pay for expired contracts will be provided as a lump sum early next year. The Culinary Union commended the major gaming companies for agreeing to the new deals, and negotiations will now focus on 24 other properties in Las Vegas to avoid potential strikes.

Las Vegas Hotel Workers Union Strikes Averted Through Deals with MGM Resorts and Caesars

MGM Resorts International expects to finalize a deal with the Culinary Union today, following Caesars Entertainment's announcement of a tentative agreement. The company reported third-quarter earnings, revealing a $200 million revenue decline for Las Vegas Strip resorts compared to the same period last year, partly due to the impact of a cyberattack. MGM estimates the cyberattack's cost at $80 million in Las Vegas and plans to invest $30-40 million in cybersecurity measures. Despite traffic disruptions, MGM is anticipating a boost in revenue from the upcoming Formula One race in Las Vegas.

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.

"Culinary Union Members Stage Arrest-Worthy Protest on Las Vegas Strip"

Dozens of Culinary Union members were arrested in an act of "civil disobedience" on the Las Vegas Strip as they seek a new five-year contract. The union members disrupted traffic by sitting in a circle on Las Vegas Boulevard, leading to their arrest by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The union members cooperated cheerfully, but the arrests were meant to send a serious message to the resort hotels. The union is prepared to go on strike if their demands are not met. Negotiations have shown some progress with MGM, but the union still wants more from the resorts.
