The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 on Monday announced a strike deadline of Feb. 2 at 5 a.m. for 21 properties on the Strip and downtown Las Vegas covering about 7,700 hospitality workers still in contract negotiations.
The strike deadline comes after Culinary and the “big three” Strip hotel companies — MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment and Wynn Las Vegas — came to an agreement for five-year contracts in November that included 32 percent salary increases. The Culinary said in a statement that workers in the remaining properties on the Strip and downtown are asking for the same wage increases, benefits and job protections amid the adoption of new technology and workload reductions.
