(LAS VEGAS, NEVADA) – Warehouse Workers employed at the Sphere in Las Vegas have voted overwhelmingly to Unionize with Teamsters Local 986.

The 22 Warehouse Workers are responsible for receiving and managing all deliveries that keep the Music and Entertainment Arena operating. The Workers joined the Teamsters to secure higher wages, safer working conditions and respect on the job.

“These workers ‘are the heartbeat’ of the Sphere and the reason every show is successful,” said Tommy Blitsch, who serves as Director of the Teamsters Convention, Trade Show, and Casino Division. “They set the standard at one of the most high-profile venues in the world. They are part of a growing movement of Workers across convention centers, arenas and casinos standing together to demand their fair share.”

Beverly Wilson, a Warehouse Worker and new Member of Local 986, said: “My Co-Workers and I are proud of what we’ve accomplished in this campaign. Together, as Teamsters, our voices will be heard. This win is just the beginning and I’m excited for the positive changes ahead.”

Local 986 Vice President Tim Vera said: “Since the Sphere opened, it’s been ‘printing money.’ It has become ‘one of the biggest venues on the planet’ because of the Workers who keep it operating. Our newest Members won’t settle for scraps. We’re taking our fight to the table to win a strong first contract.”

The Sphere is the highest-grossing arena in the world, generating $781.4 million in revenue and 1.7 million tickets sold in 2025.

The Teamsters represent 1.3 million Members in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.
