Las Vegas Casino Dealers Join Forces With UAW After Dropping from Transportation Union

Last May, another union, Unite Here, through its Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165 — which represent hotel and casino workers — authorized a citywide strike in Las Vegas. But a settlement was reached in June averting the work stoppage at 34 city casinos, after negotiations with MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment reached an accord.

The culinary union voted for a strike in 2002, but later agreed to a settlement before walking off the job. In 1984, a strike by casino workers in Las Vegas lasted 67 days and resulted in tens of millions of dollars of lost revenue.
