The bill would support hotel workers through direct grants to employers for payroll and benefits. It would also require employers accepting grants to give laid-off workers first right on job openings. (The Nevada Legislature recently passed Senate Bill 386, which gives workers laid off in the pandemic the right to return to their former jobs, if they chose to do so. Gov. Steve Sisolak praised that bill in a speech to members of the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 on Tuesday.)
