About 700 workers walked off the job at a hotel-casino just off the Las Vegas Strip Friday morning in what union organizers said would be a 48-hour strike after spending months trying to reach a deal for new 5-year contract with Virgin Hotels. Culinary Local 226 members picket at the start of a 48 hour strike at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas , Friday, May 10, 2024.
Virgin Hotels filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board on Wednesday ahead of the anticipated strike, accusing the union of failing to negotiate in good faith “despite our sincere efforts to meet and negotiate.” It said union officials were engaged in “unlawful ‘take it or leave it’ bargaining.
Earlier this year, union members at other Las Vegas-area properties received deals of a roughly 32% salary increase over five years, including 10% in the first year, Culinary previously said.
