“This new contract is a game-changer for all of us—getting such a significant wage increase and a pension is something we’ve been working toward for a long time, and to see it happen is exciting and I appreciate the Culinary Union and The Venetian Resort working together to make it happen,” said Sergio Javier Andrade, who has worked as a floor attendant at The Venetian Resort for 17 years. “We’ve worked hard for this for over a year and I feel very proud of what we were able to accomplish together. By voting yes to ratify, we’re setting ourselves up for a better, more secure future.”
