The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 501 announced a news conference for Wednesday, November 18, in Las Vegas to address what union members describe as anti‑union retaliation at Wynn Resorts on the Strip.
Three NLRB complaints filed
According to the union, three formal complaints have been lodged with the National Labor Relations Board by current and former Wynn employees. The complaints allege violations of federal labor law, specifically retaliation after workers voiced support for joining a union.
Union leaders and community representatives will attend
Local 501 organizers will be joined by vice president and Nevada State Assemblymember Selena Torres‑Fosset, the president of the Nevada AFL‑CIO, and the former and current employees who filed the complaints. A representative from a research group will also present a report related to the issues.
Union calls for an end to intimidation tactics
The union says employees have faced retaliation, surveillance, and intimidation after publicly supporting unionization. The upcoming rally aims to pressure Wynn Las Vegas to cease these alleged practices and to uphold workers’ rights under federal law.
Impact on the local community
Wynn Resorts is a major employer on the Las Vegas Strip, and the dispute has drawn attention from community leaders who stress the importance of protecting families’ livelihoods and preserving a fair workplace. The union hopes the news conference will bring greater transparency and encourage other local businesses to respect workers’ rights.
What’s next
The union plans to continue reporting on the case and will monitor any response from Wynn Resorts or the National Labor Relations Board. Further actions may include additional rallies or legal filings if the complaints are not resolved.
