Following Caesars Entertainment Corporation’s escape from a years-long bankruptcy, over 20,000 Caesars Palace workers represented by Unite Here are worried about creating a new, more beneficial relationship with management as their contracts will expire in less than a year. When Caesars was in deep financial trouble, these workers lost many of the benefits they once enjoyed and experienced a severe downturn in their employment conditions. In addition, in light of the recent tragic shooting in Las Vegas and Trump’s anti-immigrant initiatives, workers are more worried than ever about their safety and protected status as employees. While Caesars representatives claim not to have seen the Union’s drafted letter urging management to sit down at the bargaining table to discuss future terms of employment, Caesars Palace employees hold an important advantage as this is Caesars’ most profitable location in the country.
