It is typical for the union to first negotiate contracts with the Big Three to set the bar for what is expected of other operators. The contracts for the remaining two dozen properties expired in June. “And after the holidays, we’ll come back next year and either do those or set strike deadlines towards the end of January. We are giving all of these companies an opportunity to come to the table before the holidays and close the deal like MGM and Caesars and Wynn Resorts,” said Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer of the Culinary Union. Those contracts included pay increases of more than $9 an hour over the course of the five-year contracts, as well as increased protections for housekeepers and against technologies that could displace jobs, among other things.
