On November 21, Culinary Union 226 declared that it would be launching a civil disobedience action against Virgin Las Vegas. The action is a part of the union\u2019s campaign to negotiate a new five-year contract<\/a> that would cover more than 700 workers in the hospitality industry. The protest, which is scheduled for 5:30 PM local time, takes place at the same time as the property\u2019s continuous, round-the-clock picket lines.<\/p>\n

On November 15, the union started its strike, which is the first time Culinary Union employees have done so since 2002. Workers of the Golden Gate hotel in Downtown Las Vegas won a good contract after a 10-day strike in 2002.<\/p>\n

Union Leaders Demand Fair Terms<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ted Pappageorge, Secretary-Treasurer of Culinary Union 226, emphasized the stakes of the current dispute. \u201cThe contract at Virgin Las Vegas expired on June 1, 2023, and workers are fighting for a new contract that secures a better future for their families,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

Pappageorge criticized Virgin Las Vegas\u2019 proposals as inadequate, adding, \u201cThe Virgin Las Vegas\u2019 proposal is miles apart and is an insult to every worker.\u201d He underscored the union\u2019s commitment to ensuring workers receive fair wage increases, stating, \u201cWorkers at Virgin Las Vegas deserve a first-class contract\u2026 and we will win.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The union also condemned Virgin Las Vegas for hiring temporary workers, often referred to as \u201cscabs,\u201d to perform essential hospitality roles during the strike.<\/p>\n
