"An arena on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus was packed on Sept. 26 as hospitality workers gathered to vote to authorize a citywide strike that could affect 22 Strip resorts. The vote demonstrated broad solidarity across occupations — bartenders, cooks, servers, guest room attendants, porters, bellmen, laundry and kitchen staff — and empowered members to picket if negotiations stall; the union did not set a walkout deadline and continues bargaining with major casino employers over pay, benefits and working conditions." - Janna Karel
"Served as the site for two union voting sessions on May 22 where around 25,000 of the union's 50,000 members cast ballots to authorize a strike; the authorization passed overwhelmingly (99%), though the union has not called a strike. The venue was central to the labor organization's large-member turnout and the subsequent bargaining that produced tentative five-year contracts covering thousands of workers." - Susan Stapleton
"This arena hosted two voting sessions where about 25,000 of the union's roughly 50,000 members came to vote, with 99% authorizing a strike; the authorization permits the negotiating committee to call a strike any time after June 1 and is intended mainly to give leverage in contract talks rather than immediately trigger a citywide stoppage. Contracts at 34 Strip and Downtown resorts expire on June 1, and while one major operator expects to sign before the deadline, union leaders say a strike would be a last resort even as members — including bartenders, guest room attendants, cocktail and food servers, porters, bellmen, cooks and other kitchen workers — prepare if agreements are not reached. The last citywide Las Vegas strike in 1984 affected 32 resorts and lasted 67 days." - Susan Stapleton
"The Culinary and Bartenders Union is heading to the Thomas & Mack Center on May 22 to vote whether to authorize a strike that could begin as soon as June 1, when union contracts expire for about 50,000 employees at 34 casinos and resorts on the Las Vegas Strip and in Downtown Las Vegas; workers from MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, Penn National, Golden Entertainment, Boyd Gaming and others plan to vote during two sessions on May 22, and if a majority agrees, bartenders, guest room attendants, cocktail servers, food servers, porters, bellmen, cooks and kitchen workers could walk off the job starting June 1." - Susan Stapleton
