Caesars, Las Vegas Workers Reach Deal Easing Strike Threat
www.bloomberg.com
A powerful Las Vegas hospitality union struck an agreement with casino owner Caesars Entertainment Inc., the first breakthrough in a months-long labor standoff that threatened to upend one of the nation’s largest tourist economies just before it hosts a major grand prix and the Super Bowl.

    I think using the word “strike” in the headline when it’s about them coming to an agreement seems like poor word choice.

    The race is under 2 weeks away, they better get this shit agreed to quick. Although I kinda question what impact striking workers would have on the race, at most it would inconvenience those staying at/visiting Caesar’s during the race weekend. I think Caesar’s bigger concern should be their nonexistent info-sec causing them tens of millions in random and incoming fines.

    The union is easy, just agree to what they want and the strike is over

      The broader ramifications of one venue closing, or operating at limited capacity, are quite substantial, for the event, the venue, and for the greater powers looming above the city, who thirst tirelessly for profit, for value extracted from the labor provided by workers.

        Caesar’s was closed for a week nationwide due to infosec breach just a month ago, pretty sure THAT will and is having broader ramifications since they exposed the private information of millions of Americans with that

          Different kinds of ramifications probably result from the two events. One may be greater, as you suggest, but to me the difference seems quite difficult to predict, and not particularly relevant.
