Union negotiates with smaller casinos in Las Vegas

A union that represents Las Vegas workers is negotiating contracts with smaller casino operators.

US.- The Culinary Union from Las Vegas revealed that it is negotiating contracts with smaller casino operators in the city after reaching an agreement with two companies that employ most of the 50,000 employees who are threatening to strike and paralyse the industry.

The union said that it is focusing on 15 properties that operate on the Las Vegas Strip and downtown Vegas that are not covered under the deals signed with Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts International.

Bethany Khan, the spokeswoman for the Culinary Workers Union Local 226, said: “The agreements with MGM and Caesars have historic language regarding immigration, technology and automation, and safety, from sexual harassment language to safety buttons. We always have one standard for our contracts, and we are going to negotiate that one standard with other properties.”
