Unions representing roughly 53,000 Las Vegas workers on Tuesday kicked off critical negotiating sessions with hotel and casino operators after its members voted at the end of September to authorize a city-wide strike.
The culinary workers union and bartenders union represent workers at properties around the city, including those operated by MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment , and Wynn Resorts. Workers are negotiating for a new five-year contract to boost wages and benefits as tourism in Las Vegas recovers from depressed visitor levels during the pandemic.
