"We met with MGM and Caesars," said Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer of the Culinary Union. "Unfortunately, no real movement from those companies. Now, we are in negotiations with Wynn Resorts. They have an opportunity to do the right thing, and we would like to see some substantial movement, but we will see."
Wynn Resorts employees are pushing for higher wages, along with protection from technology like artificial intelligence and workload reduction.
Pappageorge says the two sides are still dollars apart when it comes to hourly wages with MGM and Caesars. But union workers also want more in these new contracts.
