Las Vegas hotels reach deals for new union contracts, averting a strike

LA Times

Wynn Resorts joined Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts International in reaching deals on contracts for 35,000 Las Vegas hotel workers threatening to strike. With only a few hours to go before a strike deadline, the last of three Las Vegas casino companies reached labor deals with the city’s most powerful hospitality workers union, ending the threat of a labor stoppage in one of the nation’s hottest tourist destinations. The deal means 5,000 workers won’t walk off the job, joining another 30,000 workers for Caesars Entertainment Inc. and MGM Resorts International, which also reached labor pacts with the union this week. The three companies raced to agree on a new contract for Las Vegas hotel workers ahead of a Formula One Grand Prix scheduled to begin Thursday and expected to bring 100,000 visitors and generate nearly $1.3 billion in economic activity.
