Ted Pappageorge, Culinary Union secretary-treasurer, told reporters on a call Thursday that the strike is the “last resort” as the company seems to not want to compromise on wage increases.
“They just keep saying ‘zero, zero, zero.’ But we definitely need the economic package. I don’t know what more we can do,” Pappageorge said. “They have put hundreds of millions of dollars into the renovations but zero for workers’ wages. And there’s no way to get past them … I feel like this will definitely get them to know that we’re serious.”
