The Trump Slump is hurting working families
On April 16, the Culinary Union held a press conference calling out the "Trump Slump" impact on the Las Vegas economy as President Trump visited the state. As a result of Trump’s tariffs, immigration policies, and attacks on Canada, Las Vegas suffered a decline in total visitors of 7.5% in 2025, the worst in a non-pandemic year since 1970. Lower visitation rates to Las Vegas mean fewer visitors spending money in hotels, restaurants, and small businesses – and that leads to fewer shifts and tips for hospitality workers. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there was a decline of 27,000 hospitality jobs last month. Workers are living through what we call the "Trump Slump" and it’s showing up in their hours and their paychecks. This administration’s chaotic trade and immigration policies have put a serious chill on travel and tourism. That means fewer hours, less tips, and hard conversations at kitchen tables. At the same time, we’re seeing a deportation system that targets long‑time, otherwise law‑abiding workers and tears families apart. If an ICE crackdown like the one in Minneapolis hit the Las Vegas Strip, visitors simply would not come here. Culinary Union members fought hard and won strong contracts, but those gains are being undermined by an economy tilted toward billionaires while working families fall further behind. Instead of addressing the real cost‑of‑living crisis: Housing, utility bills, groceries, and health care - this administration is waging a war on working families and our economy. Las Vegas is a hospitality‑dependent economy, and we need policies that welcome visitors, respect workers, and strengthen our state. We’re going to keep organizing and fighting for a real course correction.
No Taxes on Tips meeting with Congressman Horsford & Assemblymember Hunt
On March 31st, the Culinary Union brought together hundreds of tipped hospitality workers at its headquarters for a special No Taxes on Tips meeting with Congressman Steven Horsford and Assemblymember Linda Hunt. During the meeting, workers reviewed the new No Taxes on Tips law and tip deduction, discussed what it means for workers ahead of the tax filing deadline, and heard directly from Congressman Horsford about his Tipped Income Protection and Improvement Act. Ahead of Tax Day April 15th, Culinary Union has hosted two events that brought together hundreds of Shop Stewards and tipped earner union members. The so‑called ‘No Taxes On Tips’ changes are temporary and deeply flawed: They penalize married tip earners, exclude many automatic gratuities, and give permanent tax cuts to billionaires while workers get short‑term relief. That’s why we’re gearing up for the fight. We’re pushing back on bad IRS policies, demanding real transparency and fair rates, organizing tipped earners, talking to political leaders, and running our own members for office - so the working families who power this city have a real voice and a future where they can thrive. // El 31 de marzo, la Unión Culinaria reunió a cientos de trabajadores de la industria hotelera que reciben propinas en su sede central para una reunión especial sobre No Impuestos Sobre Propinas con el congresista Steven Horsford y la asambleísta Linda Hunt. Durante la reunión, los trabajadores analizaron la nueva ley sobre No Impuestos Sobre Propinas y deducción de impuestos, hablaron sobre lo que esto significa para trabajadores ante la fecha límite para la presentación de impuestos, y escucharon directamente del congresista Horsford sobre su Ley de Protección y Mejora de los Ingresos por Propinas (Tipped Income Protection and Improvement Act). Antes del Día le los Impuestos, el 15 de abril, la Unión Culinaria ha organizado dos eventos que congregaron a cientos de delegados sindicales y miembros sindicales que obtienen ingresos a través de propinas. Los cambios conocidos como ‘No Impuestos Sobre Propinas’ son temporales y presentan graves defectos: penalizan a los trabajadores que reciben propinas y están casados, excluyen a muchas propinas automáticas y otorgan recortes de impuestos permanentes a los multimillonarios, mientras que los trabajadores solo reciben un alivio a corto plazo. Por eso, nos estamos preparando para la lucha. Estamos haciendo frente a las políticas perjudiciales del IRS, exigiendo una transparencia real y tasas justas, organizando a los trabajadores que reciben propinas, hablando con líderes políticos y postulando a nuestros propios miembros para cargos públicos – para que las familias trabajadoras que impulsan esta ciudad tengan una voz real y un futuro en el que puedan prosperar.
OVG @ Allegiant: Contract NOW!
Culinary Union members picketed Oak View Group (OVG) at Allegiant Stadium on March 25, 2026 and delivered a petition signed by more than 200 workers demanding the Las Vegas standard. “OVG workers @ Allegiant Stadium deserve the Las Vegas standard! We, the OVG workers at Allegiant Stadium, have been negotiating for a fair contract since summer of 2025. Allegiant Stadium was named the highest-grossing stadium in the United States. The workers who have made this venue successful should not be treated as second-class workers or earn less than the Las Vegas standard. We believe we deserve the Las Vegas standard. Nothing less." In February 2025, Oak View Group (OVG) assumed the union contract for more than 730 cooks, servers, bartenders, and concessions workers at Allegiant Stadium. Workers have been negotiating for a strong union contract with job security, fair wage increases, and the quality health care benefits, but OVG has yet to agree. "OVG workers at Allegiant Stadium said it best: Allegiant Stadium is the highest-grossing stadium in the United States and the workers who have made this venue successful should not be treated as second-class workers or earn less than the Las Vegas standard," said Ted Pappageorge, Secretary-Treasurer for the Culinary Union. "More than 730 cooks, servers, bartenders, and concessions workers have been negotiating for a fair contract since summer of 2025. OVG took over and assumed this contract, but now the company needs to step up, respect these workers, and settle a fair contract that delivers the Las Vegas standard. Nothing less." https://www.culinaryunion226.org/news/press/culinary-union-picket-oak-view-group-allegiant-stadium-deliver-petition

Workers are now in negotiations for a union contract with job security, fair wage increases, and the best health care benefits.
Rest in power, Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Working people in Las Vegas and across the country are mourning the loss of a champion, Reverend Jesse Jackson. In 1990, we were on strike at the Horseshoe, and for nine long months, almost no one would stand with us, but Rev. Jackson did. We were told that we couldn’t march in the street and if we did, there would be arrests. Rev. Jackson came to Las Vegas, stood shoulder to shoulder with workers, led us on that march, and not one worker was arrested. At a time when our fight felt uphill, he gave us courage and hope. He kept showing up, walking picket lines during the Frontier strike, and standing with workers organizing at the Venetian and the Trump Hotel Las Vegas. Rev. Jackson believed in workers, immigrants, and civil rights for all. We feel his loss deeply, but his legacy lives on in every picket line, organizing drive, and contract fight where workers demand respect and a better future. We will honor him by marching forward and doing what he always told us: Keep hope alive.
Pass the TIP Improvement Act!
Culinary Union hosted a press conference on February 18th with Congressman Steven Horsford as he introduced federal legislation (TIP Improvement Act) to eliminate taxes on tips and end the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers. For over 30 years, the Culinary Union has fought for fair wages, defeated efforts to implement a sub-minimum wage in Nevada (and six other states), and advocated for fair taxation on tips for hundreds of thousands of workers in Nevada. Now, it’s time for the entire nation to follow Nevada’s lead to eliminate the sub-minimum wage, ensure that workers receive a fair wage, and end taxes on tips (permanently) so one job is enough for workers to support their families. The Culinary Union applauds Congressman Steven Horsford for his leadership by introducing the Tipped Income Protection and Improvement Act, in response to Culinary Union requests to implement fixes to the current “No Tax on Tip Policy,” and urges its swift passage in Congress. The Tipped Income Protection Improvement Act would do the following: *Eliminates the federal tipped minimum wage. *Increases the deduction cap from $25,000 to $50,000 for joint returns. *Requires the taxpayer (or at least one spouse on a joint return) to include a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to claim the deduction instead of a Social Security Number. *Adds safeguards to prevent misuse (such as tips must be paid by a person who is not related to the individual and the individual may not have an ownership stake in the business that employs them for the tipped position). *Treats automatic gratuities as qualified tips for individuals working in hospitality, food and beverage service, and cosmetology if the amount would otherwise qualify as a tip, if it is a mandatory or suggested charge under a uniform employer policy, and the full amount is received by the employee or distributed through lawful tip pooling under state or local law. *Removes the current December 31, 2028, sunset and makes the deduction permanent. *Applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
