The union’s contracts terminated on June 1, but the casinos have upheld the prior terms during the month-long persistent deliberations. The Unite Here trade group was threatening to strike<\/a> as early as today. But the confirmation of new pay and benefits structures for union members avoids a picket ahead of the Fourth of July holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

The union was fighting for “significant” raises to “move our workers more firmly into the middle class.” Union brass claims it achieved that mission with its new terms with MGM and Caesars.<\/p>\n
