Virgin Las Vegas tries to take down the strike line, workers are resolved to continue 24/7 strike

Thursday, December 26, 2024: Day 42 of the on-going strike at Virgin Las Vegas: The day after Christmas, VirginLV strikers were once again confronted with the company’s blatant disrespect and contempt for its workers when VirginLV management and company security tore down and took picket signs and banners in a desperate attempt to dismantle parts of the strike line. -- For the first time in over 22 years, the Culinary Union is leading 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.
