LAS VEGAS — Debra Jefferies, a cocktail waitress at the Horseshoe Las Vegas, spent much of the week wondering whether she would be walking a picket line, as she did in 1984 — the last time there was a major strike among hospitality workers in the city. “There was solidarity back then, just like there has been right now,” said Jefferies, 68. “Each generation has stepped up to demand better working conditions.” Nearly 35,000 union members, including Jefferies, had threatened to begin a strike Frid
Caesars Entertainment and the Culinary Union reached a tentative agreement on a new five-year early Wednesday morning, potentially averting a walkout by 10,000 workers at nine Strip properties.
