Culinary Workers Local 226, which has been involved in lengthy contract negotiations with the Strip’s largest employers since April, plans to form “massive” informational picket lines in front of the companies’ resorts Thursday and will ask visitors not to enter the hotel casinos.
Culinary Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge, who has been leading the negotiations with MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment and Wynn Resorts, said talks in the past week have been “very disappointing.”
Union members will set up the picket lines twice and each will last for two hours, beginning at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. at three locations along the Strip. The picket lines at MGM’s properties will take place in front of New York-New York and Park MGM.
