An off-Strip hotel-casino facing a two-day strike says it will take legal action against the union threatening to walk off the job.
Culinary Local 226, representing about 700 hospitality workers at Virgin Hotels, said Wednesday its members at the Paradise Road property will strike beginning at 5 a.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Sunday because of lengthy contract negotiations. The union has been negotiating a new five-year contract since last year. Contracts originally expired on June 1.
But Virgin officials say the union is not negotiating in good faith “despite our sincere efforts to meet and negotiate.” Resort representatives said they have filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board.
