The Las Vegas unions, considered among the most powerful in the United States, said they had secured the largest wage hikes ever negotiated in their history, which would bring a 10% wage increase for every worker in the first year and a total of 32% in raises over the life of the new contract.
Meanwhile, the unions said separate negotiations for 10,000 workers including cooks, bartenders and housekeepers, are ongoing with 24 smaller casinos and resorts for a new five-year contract.
