Hospitality workers will once again rally on the Strip this week — including 75 union members who will participate in “civil disobedience” — as Culinary Local 226 continues to pressure hotel employers to negotiate a deal for a new five-year contract.
A four-hour picket and traffic disruption will occur in front of the Bellagio and Paris Las Vegas on Wednesday. Single-lane closures will begin at 4 p.m., with picketers rallying in front of both resorts beginning at 5 p.m.
At 6 p.m., about 75 hospitality workers are expected to be arrested in a “non-violent protest action” where they take over multiple lanes of traffic on Las Vegas Boulevard.
The effort comes as negotiations continue this week and next between the union and three major employers: MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment and Wynn Resorts.
