Al Davis Way turned into a full-blown picket line Thursday evening as hundreds of Culinary Workers Union Local 226 members gathered outside Allegiant Stadium, pressing for higher pay, stronger job protections, and predictable annual raises for concession staff. The demonstration unfolded as fans arrived for a game, with organizers saying the timing was intentional to put a spotlight on what cooks, servers, and bartenders earn when the venue is packed. Union leaders framed the action as part of an ongoing fight to secure a contract that treats stadium jobs as year‑round work instead of disposable seasonal labor.
