Thousands upon thousands of workers in the hospitality industry in Las Vegas, who are currently engaged in a battle for new union agreements, have cast their votes on Tuesday to grant the authority for a potential strike that could have a profound impact on over thirty casinos and hotels, which serve as the city's economic foundation. It has been well over thirty years since the Culinary Workers Union last resorted to a strike. They have not yet announced a specific deadline for a walkout, as they are currently engaged in negotiations with the leading casino employers along the famous Las Vegas Strip, striving for improved wages, benefits, and working conditions.
