Hospitality Workers Secure Tentative Contracts, Avoid Strike Ahead of Las Vegas GP

Nevada's Culinary Worker's Union Local 226 announced plans last week to begin a strike ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix if a deal was not reached with three major casino and resort ownership groups by November 10. On Friday, the union announced separate tentative agreements with all three groups to avoid a strike before their deadline.

If the strike had occurred, 18 different properties owned by Wynn Resorts, MGM Resorts, and Caesars Entertainment around the city would have been without bartending staff, kitchen staff, and other key hospitality employees at the same time those resorts were offering million-dollar all-inclusive race weekend packages to guests. Although the union's contracts had already expired earlier in the year, the union waited to threaten a strike until just before the grand prix weekend.
