Bartenders, housekeepers, bellmen, servers and other hospitality workers on the Las Vegas Strip are preparing to strike Friday morning if several employers do not agree to a new five-year contract by 5 a.m.
Culinary Local 226 officials have scheduled bargaining sessions with Caesars Entertainment on Tuesday, MGM Resorts International on Wednesday and Wynn Resorts on Thursday, the union said Monday. Meanwhile, its members – representing about 53,000 members in Las Vegas – are preparing for picket lines on Las Vegas Boulevard.
“We are united with no daylight between departments,” said James Franklin, a Bellagio banquet server, adding that companies would need to “sign a fair contract” to avoid a strike.
