💨 Abstract

A historic shift occurred when the Venetian and the Fontainebleau casinos in Las Vegas agreed to union representation, making all major Strip casinos unionized for the first time. Housekeeper Susana Pacheco, who struggled with low pay and lack of support for years, now benefits from better working conditions, pay, and job security thanks to the Culinary Union. This victory contrasts with the national decline in union membership and Republican efforts to curb union power.
