The union-led workers’ strike at the Virgin casino-hotel that began in mid-November appears as though it will continue on into the new year.
Over the weekend, Culinary Workers Union Local 226 members picketed outside Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, holding signs and chanting while a company-operated electronic sign read, “Respond to our request to arbitrate.” The union rejected the invitation to third-party arbitration, adding another layer to the weeks-long labor demonstration.
