After a year of pushing for negotiations, workers at Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas have finally reached a union contract with management.

The hospitality workers union Unite Here called for a boycott of all Trump properties in September, as workers spent months after they voted for unionization without a contract. Unite Here's affiliate in Las Vegas, the Culinary Workers Union Local 226, represents more than 500 housekeepers and food and beverage workers at the hotel, and Culinary Union spokeswoman Bethany Khan said negotiations took place last week, with employees unanimously voting Saturday to ratify the contract.
