The Latest: Unionized Mgm Workers In Las Vegas Ok Contract

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Latest on the ratification of a contract covering unionized workers of MGM Resorts International in Las Vegas (all times local): 8:40 p.m. Housekeepers, bartenders, cooks, bellmen and other unionized workers of casino-resorts operated by MGM Resorts International in Las Vegas have approved a new contract. A vote to ratify the five-year agreement Tuesday put an end the possibility of a strike at those properties. The deal covers 24,000 members of the Culinary Union employed at several properties on the Las Vegas Strip, including The Mirage, Luxor and Aria. Bellagio housekeeper Lupe Avelar says she was happy to see that MGM agreed to an independent study, paid jointly with the union, to analyze the workload of housekeepers. The union has argued that hotel rooms have changed significantly, in size and amenities, since the last study was conducted. The contract includes wage increases in each of the five years, and for the first time, paid bereavement leave. ___ 3 p.m. Thousands of unionized workers at Las Vegas casino-resorts operated by MGM Resorts International are deciding whether to approve a new five-year contract.
