35,000 Workers Ready to Strike Days Before Las Vegas’s Big Formula 1 Kick-Off Weekend | Eater Vegas

"A major Strip employer currently at the center of five-year contract talks with Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and a potential target of a large-scale strike. Union officials warn that a coordinated walkout—scheduled to begin the morning of November 10 if no deal is reached—could remove thousands of hospitality workers from duty, affecting guest services and food-and-beverage operations and coinciding with preparations for the Formula 1 race. The labor demands include enhanced workplace safety, expanded health care, and significant raises; union organizers are mobilizing supplies and personnel for continuous picket lines and have urged visitors not to patronize properties involved in disputes. The company did not immediately respond to requests for comment." - Janna Karel
