Las Vegas Casino strike ends with new contract after 69 days
After nearly two and a half months, the longest strike in Las Vegas in decades has come to an end with a 5-year agreement for 700 employees at the hotel-casino, located near the Strip.
The Las Vegas casino strike began in November and was sparked by disagreements over salaries, with the union requiring higher pay and better working conditions. Some workers even took on second jobs while fighting for better wages. Many comedians and even the NFL Players Association, supported the initiative by joining the strike.
Bethany Khan, a spokesperson for the Union, shared that the deal was finalized in the last few days and was unanimously approved by the workers.
The contract follows months of tense negotiations after the previous deal expired in June 2023. The new contract is expected to include significant pay raises, likely similar to the 32% increase that union workers at other Vegas properties have recently received.
After 69 days of conflict, the union and casino are now ready to put their differences behind them and move forward for the good of the workers and the business.
