Culinary Workers Local 226 said in a statement Friday it had reached an agreement with the Oakland A’s on a proposed new stadium in Las Vegas that would allow workers at the $1.5 billion ballpark to potentially join the union.
Culinary Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge said the agreement with the A’s guarantees that workers will have the right to organize and negotiate union contracts.
“We hope there will be a path forward for all stakeholders so the A’s can join the Las Vegas Golden Knights and the Las Vegas Raiders to continue this transformation as Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, also becomes the sporting capital of the world,” Pappageorge said.
