In September, members voted 95% in favor of a strike authorization in Las Vegas, the unions said at the time.

The unions are asking for better pay, a reduced workload and quotas and provision of safety protections, among other things, according to a previous news release. “A month ago, workers voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike and we have continued negotiating in good faith, but unfortunately companies haven’t made enough movement in negotiations,” Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer for the Culinary Union, said in a statement. “Their current proposal on the table is historic, but it’s not enough and workers deserve to have record contracts - especially after these giant corporations are enjoying their record profits.” Thirty-five thousand workers would strike across 18 casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip if a five-year contract is not reached, the release said.

The Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165 will strike on November 10 at 5 am PT if a contract is not agreed by then, they said in a news release Thursday.
