Supporting workers rights
In May, the Culinary Union was among a number of groups that aimed to support laid-off Las Vegas-based casino workers through a new bill. The Right to Return Bill, or Senate Bill 386, applies to casino workers who lost their jobs after March 12, 2020 for economic reasons associated with the pandemic. It allows them to regain their previous roles.
Due in part to the lobbying of the Culinary Union, the legislation passed through the Nevada State Legislature in June. This also caused conflict with Station Casinos owner Red Rock Resorts, though, which actively opposed the bill.
