Day 40: Encore Boston Harbor Strike Continues as Wynn Claims Contract Offer Is Fair

The union strike at Encore Boston Harbor reached its 40th day Wednesday, with roughly 1,300 casino workers continuing to walk picket lines outside Wynn Resorts’ flagship Massachusetts property. Leaders of Unite Here Local 26 and Teamsters Local 25 say they continue to push for a “fair contract” from the Las Vegas-based casino company. Union members hold various roles at the $2.4 billion luxury resort, including housekeepers, servers, cooks, bartenders, slot attendants and warehouse personnel. The unions are seeking $10-an-hour wage increases over four years alongside guarantees that existing healthcare and pension benefits will be preserved.
