More than 100 workers at a Strip megaresort secured a new, multi-year labor deal, the employees’ union announced Thursday.

Members of International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 501 working at The Cosmopolitan hotel-casino voted to ratify their second union contract with the property, according to a news release.

The agreement, which covers engineers, support engineers and laborers, will expire in 2029.

The union had been negotiating with The Cosmopolitan since January.

“By sticking together as a union, our bargaining team was able to win a contract that brought the property in alignment with the standards established with other strip properties,” Jose Soto, director of organizing for IUOE Local 501, said.
