Service & Solidarity Spotlight: Culinary Union Reaches Tentative 4-Year Deal with Eataly at Park MGM on the Las Vegas Strip
Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
UNITE HERE’s Culinary Union announced a tentative agreement with Eataly Las Vegas at Park MGM on a four-year contract. It is the first union contract for Eataly, which opened in December 2018. The contract, which covers 130 workers, will bring raises averaging $10 an hour for cooks and $3 for fountain workers. The contract also includes access to the Culinary Health Fund, protections for owners and successorship, and strengthened protections against sexual harassment and other issues.“Eataly Las Vegas workers are the first workers to win union recognition, but they won’t be the last,” said Culinary Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge. “Currently, we have strong organizing campaigns continuing at Alexxa’s at Paris Las Vegas and Citizens at Mandalay Bay, and Culinary Union will launch more non-union restaurant organizing drives over the next coming months. We won’t stop organizing until we win higher standards for non-union restaurant workers across the Las Vegas Strip.”
