Gaming GuruCulinary voting on dues increase for strike fund21 May 2013
Union members said the vote was just a precaution. The union and representatives from MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment Corp. have held two negotiating session and are continuing to have discussion toward a new five-year agreement. The current contract for hotel and restaurant employees, which also covers members of Bartenders Local 165, expires June 1 at properties operated by MGM Resorts, Caesars and with downtown Las Vegas casinos. Contracts covering workers at the Tropicana, Riviera, LVH, Stratosphere and Treasure Island, are also expiring. In a statement, the Culinary said its members have not voted to increase strike funds since 2006. Should the measure pass, union dues would increase in the event of a strike or lockout in order to support strikers. The last major strike on the Strip lasted almost six-and-a-half years at the New Frontier and ended in 1998. Citywide negotiations affect over 40,000 Strip and downtown workers. Copyright GamingWire.
