P.M. BRIEFING : Vegas Hotel Union OKs 5-Year Pact
- Share via
LAS VEGAS — Hotel workers overwhelmingly approved a new contract with eight major resorts today calling for a $1.25-an-hour wage increase over the five-year pact.
Members of the Culinary and Bartenders unions cheered their leaders during two separate meetings as they outlined a new contract that the resorts claim will cost them $250 million over the life of the contract.
The contract covers more than 10,000 hotel workers and replaces a pact that expires at midnight today. The approval gave the union a new contract at eight major resorts and two slot arcades on the Las Vegas Strip. About two dozen other hotel-casinos with another 15,000 workers remain without contracts, however, and most of those have not yet initiated talks with the unions.
