TOM CONTI SHOP STEWARD
Tom Conti Being young and adventurous, Tom decided that he needed to be a part of the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas. He made his way from his hometown of Akron, Ohio by hitchhiking across country to Las Vegas with his only possession being a backpack.
The economy in Akron was failing due to companies moving the tire industry out of the area and since Tom had an uncle living in Las Vegas, it seemed like the place for a new start.
Tom landed his first job in Las Vegas in 1976 at Caesars Palace where he remained for 10 years. He worked in a number of classifications
from Apprentice Bartender to Bartender, and also as a Beverage Manager. Eventually Tom made his move over to the Rio Hotel working his first year as an Apprentice Bartender, then being promoted to a Banquet Bartender where he has remained for the past 12 years.
Working a number of years non-union caused Tom to become active in the organizing process
at the Rio where he served on the Organizing Committee and was present during the contract negotiations. He has also been instrumental in negotiating settlement agreements regarding the flair bartender issues and seniority.
As a Shop Steward, Tom went to Atlantic City in 2004 to meet firsthand with the workers showing them our support and informing them about the union and benefits of being represented by having a union contract.
Tom is married to Leah who is also a Shop Steward at the Rio and works as a Banquet Server. They have a son (Alan) and daughter (Rachel). In his spare time, he enjoys music and sports.
