Ted Pappageorge, Secretary-Treasurer for the Culinary Union continued saying that in negotiations, the company has proposed $0 in wage increases for the first three years of a 5-year contract, which is unacceptable.
Workers at Virgin Las Vegas deserve fair wage increases and they are organized and ready to strike for it. As Virgin Las Vegas workers go on strike on Friday, Nov. 15, the Culinary Union has their back every step of the way and we will win.
"We made hospitality jobs in Las Vegas family-sustaining jobs with decades of sacrifice and strength, and we will continue to win what workers deserve - a great union job with fair wages, job security, and the best health care benefits so that Virgin Las Vegas workers can continue to provide for their families.”
