Las Vegas Hospitality Workers Vote to Authorize Strike Amid Tight Labor Market

Las Vegas hospitality workers voted to authorize a strike against major gaming companies if contract deals are not reached.

A tight labor market and upcoming events could incentivize both sides to avoid a strike.

Culinary union is inspired by strikes happening nationally in other industries.

Union is seeking pay raises, improved working conditions, and other protections.

Two new resorts opening by end of year adds labor competition that could strengthen union position.
