CEO Bill Hornbuckle said Wednesday in an earnings call at the same time negotiations were taking place in a casino ballroom that he was confident a"historic" agreement would come together before 5 a.m. Friday, when the“We know from listening to our employees that they are looking for a pay increase to combat inflation, among other concerns,” Hornbuckle said. “This deal, when announced, will do just that.
Caesars said in a statement that the agreement “recognizes the integral contributions our Team Members have made to the success we have seen in Las Vegas over the last few years” with meaningful wage increases and opportunities for growth tied to plans to bring more union jobs to the Strip. “I try to stand in solidarity with other workers,” he said. “Life can be hard out there, so I understand what they’re fighting for.”could still happen if the union doesn't win contracts before Friday for 20,000 workers at MGM Resorts and 5,000 workers at Wynn Resorts, which will return to the bargaining table Thursday with the union.
