hotel workers set a deadline Thursday for a sweeping strike, threatening major disruptions to the city's economic backbone that could coincide with the Strip's inaugural Formula 1 races later this month.
Pappageorge said the union and its members hope it doesn’t come to a strike but that “workers are prepared, united and ready to strike if necessary.”A walkout would be the latest in a series of high-profile labor unrest actions around the country — from walkouts into UPS' contentious negotiations that threatened to disrupt the nation’s supply chain — and would follow hospitality workers walking off the job last month at Detroit's three casinos, including MGM Grand Detroit.
Members currently receive health insurance and earn about $26 hourly, including benefits, union spokesperson Bethany Khan said. She declined to say how much the union is seeking in pay raises because, she said, “we do not negotiate in public,” but the union has said it is asking for “the largest wage increases ever negotiated” in its history.
