Operating Engineers Local 501 has finalized its first contract with The Venetian hotel-casino, covering hundreds of workers at one of the Strip’s largest properties.
The five-year agreement applies to approximately 400 employees and includes wage increases, annual bonuses, medical coverage, free craft training and a defined-benefit pension plan, according to a news release. The new contract follows a multi-union organizing campaign that resulted in a neutrality agreement in 2023 and successful unionization for Local 501 in July 2024.
“I’m thrilled to see the contract finalized and implemented,” Chris Park, a facilities engineer at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, said in the release. “The new rights and benefits in the (collective bargaining agreement) will help secure my future and the futures of my coworkers.”
