It is unclear when the Culinary Union will announce a strike deadline, but it is likely that the deadline will be within the next few weeks. The casino-resort operators have not commented on the Culinary Union’s announcement. The Culinary Union is one of the most powerful unions in Nevada, and a strike by its members would have a significant impact on the state’s tourism industry. The union has said it wants a new five-year contract that includes its largest-ever negotiated wage increase, reduced workloads, more on-the-job safety protections, better technology protections, and extended recall rights. Workers voted back in September to authorize a strike, but the Culinary Union did not set a strike deadline until now.
Union leaders say no additional “big table” negotiations are currently scheduled with those three companies.
The announcement will be made at noon on Thursday, November 3, 2023, regarding a deadline for 35, 000 workers at those three companies in Las Vegas. LAS VEGAS – The Culinary Union, which represents over 60, 000 hospitality workers in Nevada, has announced that it will announce an impending strike deadline for thousands of workers at three major casino-resort operators: MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, and Wynn Resorts.
