Thousands of Las Vegas hospitality workers are gearing up to picket on the Strip this week, but they are not going on strike quite yet. What the Culinary Local 226 union are calling “informational picket lines” are scheduled for 10:00am to 5:00pm on Thursday in front of Park MGM, Paris Las Vegas, and The Linq Hotel. As more picketers join the line, it is expected to stretch to New York-New York, Planet Hollywood, Horseshoe Las Vegas, Flamingo, and Harrah’s.
The union members will still go to work, so this is not a work stoppage at this point. Anyone picketing will do so before or after their shift.
