MGM Resorts International and Culinary Workers Union Local 226 reached a tentative five-year contract agreement early Thursday morning covering more than 25,400 non-gaming workers at eight Strip properties.
The deal, announced by the Culinary in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, marks the second straight early-morning contract settlement following Wednesday’s agreement with Caesars Entertainment. The contract also includes members of Bartenders Union Local 165, a Culinary affiliate.
In a joint statement from the union and MGM, the agreement reportedly includes “the largest wage increases ever negotiated in Culinary Union’s 88-year history,” along with workload reductions for guest room attendants, mandated daily room cleaning, increased safety protections for workers on the job and expanded technology contract language.
