Culinary Union Reaches Historic Tentative Deal for 4,000 Workers at Venetian and Palazzo

Aug 20, 2024, 04:30 PM

On August 20, 2024, the Culinary Workers Union reached a tentative contract agreement with The Venetian and Palazzo hotels in Las Vegas, marking a historic first for over 4,000 non-gaming hospitality workers at these properties. This agreement ends a decades-long standoff between the union and the two resorts, which were the last non-union casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. Previously owned by Las Vegas Sands, the Venetian and Palazzo had resisted union organizing efforts for more than two decades. The deal represents a significant victory for the Culinary Union and the workers, who have fought hard for this union contract.
