Hundreds of hospitality workers at an off-Strip casino will walk off the job for the second time this year after employer Virgin Hotels and Culinary Local 226 leadership failed to agree on a new multi-year contract Thursday night.
Last week, Culinary set a 5 a.m. Friday strike deadline to press Virgin management to get a deal done one week before the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Virgin said it tried to address Culinary’s concerns about a lack of wage increases in the first three years of the contract.
“Today, in an attempt to address the Union’s concerns, we proposed bringing forward a portion of the wage increase that was previously proposed for years four and five so that there are no longer zero increases in the first three years,” according to a statement from hotel management.
