Overview
- UNITE HERE Local 26 and Teamsters Local 25 reported that members ratified the new collective bargaining agreement on Nov. 6, officially ending the strike that began on Sept. 4.
- About 1,300 frontline employees across housekeeping, food and beverage, slots, drivers and other support roles walked off in early September and are cleared to resume work under the new deal.
- Wynn Resorts said it reached a 'framework for resolution' with union leadership, and CEO Craig Billings and union officials issued statements expressing satisfaction with the outcome.
- Early reports did not release full contract text, but the Teamsters described the pact as a five-and-a-half-year agreement that includes wage increases and expanded benefits.
- The strike cut Encore’s September gaming revenue by more than 20 percent, reduced state tax remittances, drew visits from elected officials, and may affect future labor talks in the gaming sector.
