Members of the <strong>Unite Here Local 54 Union<\/strong> were planning on striking this holiday weekend if negotiations did not end in a new agreement. <strong>MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment and Hard Rock International<\/strong> have all signed new tentative deals with the union. The exact details of the contracts remain a mystery. <\/p>\n<p>The union gave Caesars and MGM until July 1 to sign a new agreement, or a strike would begin. New deals were signed in time, which kept MGM\u2019s Borgata Casino from missing employees as well as Caesars Tropicana, Harrah\u2019s, and moniker venue, Caesars Casino. <\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>Bob McDevitt<\/strong>, the union president, the new agreement is the best contract the union has ever had. The deal was reached late in the evening, around 11 pm.
