Thousands of unionized Las Vegas casino employees have cast ballots in a vote on whether to authorize a strike.
The workers affiliated with the Culinary Union voted Tuesday in the first of two separate sessions at a university arena. The results will be released Tuesday night.
MGM Grand bellman Don Leadbeter says workers want to protect their job security and ensure that employers provide training as they adopt more workplace technology.
He says employees such as bartenders, housekeepers, servers and cooks are ready to strike.
