After nearly 10 weeks on strike, workers at the Virgin casino hotel off the Strip have a new contract.
Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165 have agreed to terms with Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, the two sides announced Wednesday. A five-year contract was ratified “by a vote of 100 (percent),” according to a Culinary 226 social media post.
“Virgin Hotels Las Vegas and the Culinary and Bartenders Unions are pleased to move forward with their contract negotiations as all look forward to fostering a positive and collaborative relationship for the benefit of all team members at the property,” the parties said in a press release.
The agreement effectively ends one of Las Vegas’ longest labor demonstrations in more than a decade. Virgin workers went on strike on 15 November.
Those involved are “committed to resolving our dispute and to maintaining a union standard at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas that provides for the families of its team members and promotes a better community for all,” the press release said.
