Vote is set on Vegas Hilton pact
Kitchen workers and bartenders are scheduled to vote today on a tentative contract with the Las Vegas Hilton hotel-casino, according to union officials.
The agreement with about 1,800 members of Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165 is the latest in a series of contracts negotiated with Las Vegas Strip employers since the previous accord expired June 1.
The culinary union represents more than 60,000 workers on the Las Vegas Strip, in downtown casinos, at McCarran International Airport and at industrial laundry facilities in Las Vegas.
Union officials said a pact with the Hilton would leave the Tropicana hotel-casino as the only property still without a contract on the Strip.
