After a 69-day strike, Las Vegas hotel workers reached a new contract with Virgin Hotels, marking the longest strike in decades. The Culinary Workers Union announced a five-year deal, securing significant pay raises akin to those received by peers across the area. The strike highlighted pay inequalities as workers demanded fair compensation for their labor. The agreement, finalized on November 15, followed contentious negotiations, with the union emphasizing the importance of not accepting a subpar contract, reflecting a broader fight for workers' rights in the hospitality sector.
Throughout the strike, Ted Pappageorge, the union's secretary-treasurer and lead negotiator, repeatedly stated that workers at Virgin Hotels would not settle for a 'second-class contract.'
