STRIKEmas party @virginhotelslasvegas

🪧 Virgin Las Vegas ON STRIKE! On the 30th day of Culinary Union’s longest strike in over two decades, Culinary Union hosted a STRIKEmas party with live music, delicious food, and plenty of holiday cheer for strikers on the Virgin Las Vegas picket line. Culinary Union members continue fighting for a new 5-year union contract for 700 hospitality workers. The STRIKEmas festivities takes place as the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) pledge to stand with strikers: “We stand in full support of the Culinary Union workers on strike at Virgin Las Vegas. As a union of professional football players, solidarity with the labor movement is central to our values. Over the years, we’ve received invaluable support from UNITE HERE and other unions, and we proudly extend our support when called upon. We stand with the Culinary Union in their fight for a fair contract. Until the strike is resolved, we commit to not sleep, eat, or drink at Virgin Las Vegas and encourage our fans and fellow athletes to do the same.” -- For the first time in over 22 years, the Culinary Union has launched its longest-lasting strike in more than two decades, taking workers at Virgin Las Vegas out in an open-ended strike that began November 15th at 5:00am as workers continue fighting for a new 5-year union contract for 700 hospitality workers. Since the strike began, hundreds of striking workers and union members have maintained 24/7 picket lines at every entrance and exit along Harmon Avenue and Paradise Road around the casino property. Culinary Union is urging tourists and community allies to *not* cross the strike line at the Virgin Las Vegas and encourages customers to cancel their reservation, check out of the property, choose a union accommodation on FairHotel.org and eat at union restaurants on UnionEats.org
