CARSON CITY - Gov. Bob Miller says he has been informed that the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas has agreed to conduct another bargaining session with the striking unions.

A spokesman for Miller said the governor was told Tuesday by Culinary Union officials that the Frontier is "is willing to sit down and talk" to end the nine-month-old strike.

Miller sent a letter today to Frontier General Manager Tom Elardi saying he would be "happy to assist in this process, attending the initial meeting not as a judge or mediator, but as a facilitator."

"In addition, I will make the state's labor commissioner available to both sides throughout continued negotiations in an effort to bring this dispute to some resolve," Miller said.

Miller said he is looking forward to a response from Elardi "and the opportunity to assist in a return to good-faith negotiations."
