Around 100 members of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 501 rallied outside Resorts World Las Vegas Friday to call attention to alleged unfair labor practices by resort managers. A spokeswoman for the union said the rallyists “wanted the company to commit to what they agreed to.”

The hourlong rally also drew several Nevada elected officials. Speakers included Assemblywomen Susan Martinez, Selena Torres and Cecelia González addressing concerns about Resorts World’s actions.

Union officials say 3,000 union jobs were promised by Genting Group, operators of Resorts World, when the resort opened nearly a year ago in June.

The IUOE began organizing efforts for more than 100 facilities maintenance workers and gaming equipment technicians in October and sought a union representation vote.
