Three Las Vegas casino companies have reached labor deals with the city’s most powerful hospitality workers union, ending the threat of a strike in one of the nation’s hottest tourist destinations.
Culinary Workers Union Local 226 said it reached a new five-year contract agreement with Wynn Resorts Ltd. ahead of a Friday strike deadline. The deal means 5,000 workers won’t walk off the job, joining another 30,000 workers for Caesars Entertainment Inc. and MGM Resorts International, which also reached labor pacts with the union this week.
