A strike could still occur if contracts for 20,000 workers at MGM Resorts and 5,000 workers at Wynn Resorts are not secured before Friday.
MGM Resorts International is also close to reaching a tentative deal with the hotel workers union.
The Culinary Workers Union has reached a tentative agreement with Caesars Entertainment, averting a potential strike.
The new contract includes wage increases, funds for healthcare and pensions, and reduced workload for housekeepers.
The Culinary Workers Union, representing a significant portion of Las Vegas hospitality workers, has reached a tentative agreement with Caesars Entertainment, averting a potential strike. The agreement includes a new five-year contract for over 10,000 hospitality workers across nine Caesars properties. The deal was reached after 20 hours of intense negotiations and just days before the union's deadline for a strike.
The new contract includes wage increases, funds for healthcare and pensions, and reduced workload for housekeepers. The deal also allows the unions to campaign and support non-union workers on the strip. The agreement covers a five-year contract and includes compensation increases 'far above' those in the last five-year contract.
In addition to the agreement with Caesars, MGM Resorts International, the largest employer on the Las Vegas Strip, is also close to reaching a tentative deal with the hotel workers union, according to CEO Bill Hornbuckle. The Culinary Workers Union has threatened to strike if negotiations fail by 5 a.m. Friday. A strike could still occur if contracts for 20,000 workers at MGM Resorts and 5,000 workers at Wynn Resorts are not secured before Friday.
Caesars expressed excitement over the agreement and recognized the contributions of their team members. The union has scheduled a vote on the agreement for Friday.
