"Las Vegas Unions Secure Casino Deals, Avoiding Strike"

Las Vegas union representatives have announced tentative contract agreements with Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts, and Wynn Resorts, averting a strike. The five-year contracts include a 2.5-time wage increase, updated job safety regulations, protections against technological advancements, and a required $2,000 severance for every year worked. The agreements also feature a 'no strike' clause, allowing workers to picket and take action if necessary. The proposed contracts have been recommended to members, who have 10 days to accept or reject them. Union negotiations for approximately 10,000 members at other Las Vegas properties are ongoing.

SEPTA and TWU 234 Reach Tentative Deal, Averting Strike

SEPTA and the Transport Workers Union (TWU) Local 234 have reached a tentative agreement on a new one-year contract, averting a strike that would have shut down bus, trolley, and subway services in Philadelphia. The agreement includes across-the-board raises, a signing bonus, changes in work rules, and SEPTA committing to training union mechanics to repair new electric buses. The contract does not address security concerns, but both sides have agreed to continue working on that issue. The deal must be approved by TWU members and SEPTA's board.
