Senator Cortez Masto expressed her support for the strikers, saying, "Virgin Las Vegas strikers can always count on me and the Nevada delegation to stand with them—we will always have their backs. I am proud to stand alongside workers on the picket line who are fighting for a strong contract and a better future."

Genesis Knipping, a room service order taker at Virgin Las Vegas and Culinary Union member for nine years, shared her gratitude for the senator's support. "Her support means so much—it shines a light on what we're doing. My co-workers and I are united, and we're here on strike fighting for better wages and for fairness," she said.
