Culinary Union Local 226 and Mission Industries faced a Tuesday deadline set by the union last week amid talks on a union health care plan. At stake is clean sheets and towels for all Las Vegas hotel guests. Almost 50 hotel-casinos use the company’s six local plants for sheets, towels and other services.
The company has says it is trying to renegotiate with some of its customers to help pay for a health plan it says is now double its current amount.
“The casinos have all been willing to listen and talk with us. They’ve been receptive,” David Spurlock Jr., general counsel for Mission Industries, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The company has said it will continue all of its services if workers strike.
Let me know if I need to pack my own towels and sheets...this won't keep me at home!
UPDATE: The union announced a tentative contract that will be presented for union ratification on Tuesday.
