United States.- After more than 60 days of hotel workers' strike in Las Vegas, the Culinary Workers Union announced a five-year agreement for about 700 employees of Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The workers had started the measure on November 15th.
The union posted on the social network X a joint statement where they report that Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and the Bartenders Union Local 165 have reached an agreement on the terms they are willing to resolve their new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Furthermore, they indicated that the parties "are pleased to be moving forward with their contractual negotiations while each looks forward to fostering a positive and collaborative working relationship for the benefit of all team members on the property."
Bethany Khan, a union spokesperson, reported that an agreement was reached in recent days and the union approved it unanimously on January 22nd.
During the strike, the union's secretary-treasurer and chief negotiator Ted Pappageorge said that the workers at Virgin Hotels would not settle for a "second-class contract."
Since November, the union members had been on strike, with pickets in front of the hotel doors, and along a common route between the main tourist corridor and the city's international airport. The previous union agreement with Virgin Hotels expired in June 2023.
