Hundreds of workers at a Las Vegas hotel and casino who have been on strike for more than two months will go back to work after agreeing to a new contract Wednesday. The Culinary Workers Union and an affiliated bartenders union, which together represented about 700 striking workers at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas , announced the employees had unanimously approved a five-year deal.
During negotiations owners of the hotel initially rebuffed the 32% raise workers had demanded, which was in line with other contracts in the area, but ultimately agreed to the boost, said Bethany Khan, a spokesperson for the union. Workers will see a 10% wage hike in the first year with the rest of the pay increases coming over the remaining years of the contract, Khan said.
