The worker strike at Encore Boston Harbor has now run 40 days, with approximately 1,300 union members employed by the Wynn Resorts property continuing to walk the picket line.
Leaders of Unite Here Local 26 and Teamsters 25 say they continue to fight for a “fair contract” from the Las Vegas-based casino company. The union members work in a variety of roles at the $2.4 billion, five-star luxury destination, including housekeepers, servers, cooks, bartenders, slot attendants, and warehouse personnel.
The unions want $10 per hour pay increases over four years and guarantees that existing health care and pension benefits will be preserved for all union employees. Unite Here and Teamsters also demand that starting pay for any union worker begin at $25 an hour.
Calling their ask the “Boston Standard,” a reference to wages elsewhere in the Massachusetts capital region, the unions aren’t budging from their ask. Nor is Wynn, as the two sides have reportedly met face-to-face fewer than a handful of times since the strike began on Sept. 4.
Officials with Wynn Resorts say union workers at Encore Boston Harbor already make an average of $96,000 in pay and benefits, a figure the unions dispute. Wynn says that by further raising wages, union jobs at the Encore property would be put at risk.
Speaking with Casino.org , a senior Wynn Resorts official rejected the unions’ claims that they’re simply seeking the “Boston Standard.” The company executive said Encore Boston Harbor has offered an “economic bucket” that would allow the unions to decide how to allocate the funds, whether it is for wages, health care, pensions, training, childcare, housing, or other union benefits.
Wynn is reportedly seeking to agree on the size of the funds with the union and let leaders decide “how to slice it.” The resort claims to have already made a “substantive” offer that remains on the table.
The unions have the support of numerous local governments, including the Boston City Council and Everett City Council. But despite the unions asking the public not to cross their picket line , many consumers continue to patronize Encore Boston Harbor.
