On Aug. 22, a Culinary Union Workers Local 226 leader told the Nevada Gaming Commission (NGC) that the union stood with Evolution’s striking workers in Tbilisi.

The Las Vegas-based union represents 60,000 hospitality workers.

Culinary Union Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge said:

The Culinary Union offers solidarity to the Evolution workers in Georgia and asks the Nevada Gaming Commission to take into consideration the labor practices of this company, in Georgia and anywhere else, as the Board reviews the potential application for a Nevada gaming license related to the acquisition of Galaxy Gaming.

Culinary Union urges the Nevada Gaming Commission to reject Evolution’s application if it continues to refuse to treat its employees with respect and provide for decent wages and safe working conditions.
