Venetian not expecting problems despite differences with union
Monday, Nov. 30, 1998 | 2:07 a.m.
Venetian developer Sheldon Adelson has been at odds with the powerful Las Vegas union since he refused to open the Strip resort as a union hotel.
Company officials said they are offering a wage and benefit package that matches or exceeds contracts negotiated by the Culinary Union, which represents about 40,000 casino workers.
The 3,000-suite megaresort, scheduled to open in April, started a 24-hour telephone employment line Monday to begin screening applicants for jobs at the new resort.
Officials expect 80,000 phone calls over the next four months.
