Aria Workers at CityCenter Sign to Be Union
B
y a huge percentage, more than 4,500 workers in Culinary and Bartenders classifications from CityCenter’s Aria signed on to be members of the union. A team of Culinary and Bartenders rank-and-file volunteer organizers gave their personal time on one or both of their days off and will be credited with the most successful union card check ever. For several months during the hiring process and before Aria’s opening, volunteer organizers talked to everyone hired for a Culinary or Bartenders union job about the benefits of joining the Union. Hearing from workers just like themselves really raised awareness for workers about the value of being union. Congratulations to Aria workers for keeping Las Vegas a union town.
Aria open enrollment at the Union Hall for 4 days in late November.
