Culinary workers in Las Vegas want better pay and safer working conditions. After months of negotiating, they're ready to call a strike five days before F1 comes to town
A labor dispute in Las Vegas is threatening to disrupt operations at a number of casinos along the strip, where Formula 1 is set to race in two weeks' time. Although a strike has not yet been launched, the roughly 35,000 members of the Culinary Workers Union have approved the measure if a contract deal can't be reached by November 10. That's just five days before the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend.
