The Oakland Athletics and the Culinary Union 226 have struck a deal for their workers who may be employed at a potential Las Vegas MLB stadium to have the right to union contracts.
The Culinary union noted last month that it and the A’s had been negotiating a potential deal for a year. The A’s this week switched their Las Vegas ballpark from the Red Rock Resorts owned Wild Wild Wild west site to the Tropicana hotel on the Strip.
“We hope there will be a path forward for all stakeholders so the Las Vegas A’s can join the Las Vegas Golden Knights and the Las Vegas Raiders to continue this transformation as Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, also becomes the sporting capital of the world,” said Culinary union Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge.
