“This CBA reflects the hard work, dedication and solidarity of the 400 men and women who help raise the standard for our trades in Las Vegas,” Local 501 Director of Organizing Jose Soto said.
“Local 501 is proud to have worked alongside The Venetian Resort facilities maintenance workers and slot technicians for the last two years to secure an area-leading contract.”
