The Culinary Union is taking Strip casino companies to court. They say it is on behalf of union members who work in casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, in order to protect them from the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace.

The Culinary Union plans to file the lawsuit on Monday.

It claims hotel-casinos on the Las Vegas Strip are not protecting workers from the coronavirus, and the current procedures for responding to workers who contract COVID-19 are “dangerously inadequate.”

The lawsuit focuses on what the union describes as a failure of the companies to properly warn and quarantine employees when a hospitality worker tests positive for COVID-19.
