Only three resort-casinos need to reach a tentative contract with hospitality workers just hours before a planned Culinary Union walkout<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

These include Virgin Hotels Las Vegas<\/a>, Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino, and Golden Nugget Las Vegas Hotel & Casino.<\/p>\n

In recent days, Culinary Union members and management at Fremont Hotel & Casino, the Rio Hotel & Casino, Main Street Station Casino, Brewery & Hotel, Binion\u2019s Gambling Hall & Hotel, and the Four Queens Resort and Casino reached tentative five-year contracts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, the union also settled with the Sahara Las Vegas and El Cortez Hotel and Casino.<\/p>\n

Details on the new tentative contracts have yet to be released to the public. Each of the agreements still need to be approved by rank-and-file workers before they go into effect.<\/p>\n

Monday Strike Deadline<\/h2>\n

Members of the Culinary Union and the Bartenders Union have warned they may go on strike<\/a> at 5 a.m. PT on Monday at the three properties without a tentative contract in place.<\/p>\n

The possible strike would occur just days before Super Bowl LVIII<\/a>, to be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday, February 11. Las Vegas is expecting many visitors<\/a> for the big game and related events.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Historic Contracts<\/h2>\n

Over recent months, the union has settled with three casino companies, Wynn Resorts, Caesar Entertainment, and MGM Resorts International.<\/p>\n

Under the contracts with the three companies, every worker will receive a 10% wage increase in the first year of the deal. They will get 32% in salary increases over the life of the contract.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been working hard since last year to win historic contracts, but we aren\u2019t done yet. It\u2019s time for workers to get a fair contract and have security for themselves and their families,\u201d Ted Pappageorge, the Culinary Union\u2019s secretary-treasurer, said in a recent statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWorkers at the other [Las Vegas] Strip independents and downtown deserve the same wage increases, benefit protections, safety and technology language, and reductions in workloads as the rest of the Las Vegas Strip and they are organized and ready to fight for it,\u201d Pappageorge added.<\/p>\n

No one wants to strike, but workers are serious and will strike if they have to and the Culinary Union has their back every step of the way.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 has some 60K members. They include bartenders, bellmen, cocktail and food servers, cooks, guest room attendants, laundry and kitchen workers, and porters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
