  • The Formula One construction on the Las Vegas Strip is causing significant disruptions and traffic headaches for hospitality workers. As preparations for the upcoming race intensify, workers are concerned that their already extended commutes will become even longer. The construction has led to road congestion, backups, and the closure of travel lanes and sidewalks. With over 100,000 hotel business employees on the Strip, the question of how they will get to work during the race week looms large. Many workers describe their daily commute as a nightmare, with concerns about being late for work and being unable to fulfill other responsibilities, such as taking children to school. The Culinary Union, which represents a majority of hospitality workers, worries that the race week will exacerbate these challenges, as the track closes to the public and alternative routes become severely limited. It is crucial for workers to have reliable transportation options to ensure that they can continue to fulfill their work duties. The union hopes that solutions can be found to mitigate the disruptions and minimize the impact on workers' lives.

  • That's right.
  • And we've moved now from the roads over to the sidewalks as all this construction is really speeding up ahead of the november race.
  • To take a look over my shoulder though, this is just in front of the Bellagio fountains where they're setting up growing stands but closing off an entire travel lane on the street as well as the sidewalk.
  • All of this might not even be as disruptive as the racing day closures and over 100,000 hotel business employees here on the strip are questioning how will I get to work?
  • It is a nightmare driving to work.
  • I sometimes worry that I won't be able to get to work on time.

  • Now that compensation would come from the hotels.
  • The union is currently in contract negotiations with them anyway.
