In Las Vegas, Nevada, tens of thousands of casino and restaurant workers are posed to walk out on strike today, after their union contracts expired at midnight. Early this morning, Culinary Union Local 226 reached a tentative 5-year deal with Caesars Entertainment covering some 12,000 workers that will avert a strike at nine casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. But talks remain ongoing at a further 25 properties, where more than 30,000 other workers say they’re ready to join picket lines later today.
