- Leveraging the threat of a strike by 35,000 hospitality workers in 2023, the Venetian casino resisted organizing for 25 years, prompting Fontainebleau to sign its first pact.
- Backed by 60,000 members, the union reports between 95 and 98% opt-in rates at each casino, with workers earning an average $35 hourly including benefits.
- Now with the union, Susana Pacheco says the five-year contract secured a 32% pay bump and guaranteed days off, improving work-life balance.
