LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Culinary Union members picketed Oak View Group at Allegiant Stadium on Wednesday, delivering a petition signed by more than 200 workers demanding what they call the Las Vegas standard.
In February 2025, Oak View Group assumed the union contract for more than 730 cooks, servers, bartenders and concessions workers at Allegiant Stadium. Workers have been negotiating for a strong union contract that includes job security, fair wage increases and quality health care benefits, but the union said Oak View Group has yet to agree.
“OVG workers at Allegiant Stadium said it best: Allegiant Stadium is the highest-grossing stadium in the United States and the workers who have made this venue successful should not be treated as second-class workers or earn less than the Las Vegas standard,” said Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer for the Culinary Union.
“More than 730 cooks, servers, bartenders, and concessions workers have been negotiating for a fair contract since summer of 2025. OVG took over and assumed this contract, but now the company needs to step up, respect these workers, and settle a fair contract that delivers the Las Vegas standard. Nothing less,” Pappageorge said.
