Largest wage increases, enhanced safety, strengthened healthcare protections
"Reached a tentative five-year deal with the Culinary Workers Union on Nov. 9 that formed part of the three-employer bargaining package delivering the union’s largest-ever wage increases, reductions in guest-room workloads, enhanced safety measures, expanded technology-related contract provisions, and strengthened healthcare and job-security protections; the pact must still be ratified by employees, a process that could take up to around ten days." - Janna Karel
"One of the largest gaming employers in Nevada that is currently negotiating a new five-year contract with Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and faces the prospect of a massive walkout if no agreement is reached. Union leaders say up to 35,000 members are prepared to strike at 5 a.m. on November 10, which could pull tens of thousands of front- and back-of-house hospitality staff off the job (bartenders, cooks, servers, guest room attendants, porters, bellmen, laundry, and kitchen workers) and disrupt operations on the Las Vegas Strip—potentially during the Formula 1 Grand Prix. The union is pressing for expanded safety measures, health care improvements, and what it calls the largest pay increase in its history; organizers are preparing for sustained, 24/7 picketing at multiple casino sites with logistical support, strike pay sign-ups, and public appeals asking race attendees not to cross lines. The company did not immediately respond to requests for comment." - Janna Karel
"As one of the two largest resort companies on the Las Vegas Strip, this employer reached a new agreement with the Culinary and Bartenders unions to extend pandemic protections to its unionized workforce. The deal guarantees continued no-monthly-premium, full-family health care through the Culinary Health Fund for furloughed workers through March 1, 2021; allows employees laid off because of COVID-19 to be recalled for up to two years to their same jobs with full seniority or to take temporary assignments in other roles if needed; provides 10 paid days off when quarantine is initiated by public health authorities or the employer; suspends attendance points and discipline for COVID-related absences; permits requests for up to six weeks of unpaid leave; and calls for manager training on responding to positive COVID-19 tests. Union leaders framed the agreement as protecting workers and their families during the economic recovery." - Susan Stapleton
