LAS VEGAS (AP) — Food service workers at a Las Vegas Strip arena who want higher pay and better benefits are rallying on the famed tourist corridor. More than 1,000 union members packed the walkways near T-Mobile Arena on Thursday, with the crowd spilling onto Las Vegas Boulevard. The rally aims to highlight the Culinary Workers Union’s ongoing contract negotiations with Levy Premium Food Service. The union says 200 servers, dishwashers, cooks and bartenders who work at the arena have been locked in negotiations with Levy for a year. Levy said in a statement it was discouraged by the union’s decision to rally but looks forward to reaching a fair contract with its employees.
