Las Vegas casino workers picket Palms, call for negotiation
More than 1,000 members of a powerful Las Vegas casino workers union and other hospitality workers picketed Wednesday evening outside the Palms, where owners have refused to bargain with the union.
The workers, chanting and carrying signs that said, "No contract. No peace," called for Palms owner Station Casinos to negotiate with employees, who voted in April 2018 to unionize.
The company challenged the election's result, but the National Labor Relations Board determined the company has been "failing and refusing to bargain collectively and in good faith" with the Culinary Union.
The Palms, located west of the Las Vegas Strip, is one of six Station Casinos-owned properties in Las Vegas where workers have voted to unionize in recent years.
