Nevada is the most union-dense state in America despite being a "right to work" state. And even with "right to work" laws, the strip casinos have 90%+ membership rates, even at MGM where the casino is extremely anti-union.

Steve Wynn has always been one of the most union friendly operators in Vegas. There has never been a strike at any of his properties by any of the unions.

In fact, there have been very few strikes in Vegas at all, especially on the strip. The strikes that have happened have usually happened at casinos owned by families like the Alardi's who are insane and evil to their employees.

Unions are a major part of life in Las Vegas in the gaming industry. They are the major reason why cocktail waitresses have pensions and fully paid health insurance and are able to buy their own homes and put kids through college.

The dealers at the Wynn unionizing won't be bad in the least. In fact it can only improve their situation vis a vis management. Clearly they understand that and that is reflected in the vote.

When are people going to learn that unions aren't a boogie man that steals your money and drags you kicking and screaming out on strike? That's the crap the bosses have told workers for decades.

If it was true that unions could end up negotiating less and end up with a cheaper deal for management, then management would never fight the union.
