- The Culinary Union — an affiliate of Unite Here, the largest hospitality worker union in the country — announced the launch of a campaign to organize 10,000 non-union restaurant workers at casino resorts along the Las Vegas Strip, according to a release.
- The union’s drive to organize along the Strip began last week at Eataly Las Vegas when a committee of workers held big table negotiations with the Culinary Union and MGM Resorts International, which operates the restaurant.
- Hospitality workers nationwide are calling for better wages — and solidarity from travelers and consumers — amid a wave of union activity in the sector, particularly in the West.
