Unions for Las Vegas Strip workers move closer to potential strike, WSJ says

Unions for Las Vegas Strip workers have decided workers will vote on a citywide strike on September 26 and, if approved, could lead to over 50,000 housekeepers, bartenders, and other staff walking off the job, Ginger Otis of The Wall Street Journal reports. Workers want lighter workloads, an increase in on-the-job security protection, and are bargaining for a wage increase, the unions said. Affected properties include casino-resorts that are handled or owned by Caesars Entertainment (CZR), Wynn Resorts (WYNN), and MGM Resorts International (MGM) as well as hotels such as Trump Hotel Las Vegas and the Waldorf Astoria.
