As Las Vegas continues to recover after a massive hacking operation, the city could be in for another disruption as hospitality workers vote to strike on Tuesday.
The vote, which is for the members of the Culinary and Bartenders Union, takes place as members seek new contracts in the popular Nevada city. The union's leaders have stated they hope they do not need to strike but that they will if necessary.“We are united, we are organized, and we want better for each and every one of us because we all deserve it,” Margaret Jaramillo, a union member working at MGM Resorts, said, according to a report.
Ted Pappageorge, the union's secretary-treasurer and chief negotiator, has stated that the three biggest resort companies on the Las Vegas strip, MGM, Caesars, and Wynn Resorts, would be the first to be affected by the strike. He also said that the companies are"setting records in revenue" and that they would have to"share that money" with the workers."
"This is an opportunity for these companies to do the right thing the week of Oct. 2," Pappageorge said. “And we hope to get a fair contract but one that’s going to move people forward, not just keep up. And if not, there may be a strike.”The Culinary and Bartenders Union represents 53,000 service workers in Las Vegas and 60,000 in Nebraska as a whole.
Voting goes until 12pm and opens again at 5pm.

The cyberattack caused multiple casino machines to shut down, as well as lock guests out of their rooms.
