Less than three hours before the strike deadline, the Culinary union reached a tentative agreement for a new five-year contract with Wynn Resorts early Friday morning.
According to the Culinary union, the agreement was reached at 2 a.m. and covers 5,000 hospitality employees at Wynn and Encore. The union calls the contract groundbreaking because it includes the largest wage increases ever negotiated in the union’s 88-year history. It also includes workload reductions and safety protections for workers.
