...Local 226 secretary-treasurer Ted Pappageorge said the property has gone through a “massive remodel and the finances are different. They’re not doing as well as the Strip. They are investing a tremendous amount of money in the property, and we need to make sure they invest money into the worker also.
“We tried to give them some additional time to work through the contract issues, but that time is running out,” he said.
Pappageorge said wages were the main sticking point in negotiations. The resort management proposed no wage increases for the first three years and discussions with no specific wage proposals for the remaining two years of the contract.
“That is unacceptable,” he said.
