WYNN DEALERS GO UNION
By a vote of 444 to 149, Wynn Las Vegas’ Dealers might become the first major Casino in Las Vegas history to have Union Dealers. The National Labor Relations Board has until next week to certify the results of the weekend election at Wynn Las Vegas, but rumor has it Steve Wynn has accepted the results. Union Casino Dealers on the Strip could be a thing of the future if this happens.
Gregory Kamer, a Las Vegas-based labor attorney who represents Wynn Las Vegas, said Monday nothing has come to the attention of Wynn management that would cause the casino operator to file an objection to the election results with the NLRB. Wynn executives referred all calls on the union vote to Kamer.
“Once the (NLRB) certifies the election, we’ll look at our calendars and schedule a negotiating session,” Kamer said.
Frank McCann Jr., who directed the organizing drive for the Transport Workers, said Sunday the property’s roughly 700 dealers expect to see the casino eliminate the tip-pooling program that led to the labor unrest and subsequent union vote. In addition, McCann said, dealers want to have the right to divide their own tips and want job security initiatives.
“Hopefully, we’ll be able to sit down and negotiate an agreement in good faith,” McCann said. “That’s what the workers intend for us to do.”
