Culinary Union unveils NVLEG 2023 priorities
On Thursday, February 23, 2023, Culinary Union unveiled NVLEG 2023 priorities and launched the campaign to win Neighborhood Stability and establish a Nevada State Lottery to fund youth mental health and education. “The Culinary Union is continuing our campaign to win Neighborhood Stability by taking a stand against corporate Wall Street price-gouging landlords and by fighting to protect Nevadans from being pushed out of our homes. The Legislature needs to protect Nevadans by tying rent increases to the cost of living with a 5% cap, protecting tenants from unreasonable fines and fees, and reforming evictions,” said Ted Pappageorge, Secretary-Treasurer for the Culinary Union. “The Culinary Union is also advocating for the Nevada Legislature to create a State Lottery that would dedicate sustainable funding to youth mental health and education. The Culinary Union has a long history of fighting and winning for working families in Carson City, and this year is no different. One job should be enough to have a roof over our heads and ensure Nevada’s youth have quality mental health care access and education. Just like we have throughout our 88 years, we will stand together and win a future where we all thrive.” https://www.culinaryunion226.org/news/press/culinary-union-unveils-nvleg-2023-priorities
2022: We Are the Union!
As the Culinary Union continues to fight and win for working families, we invite you to reflect on the past year with our new "2022 - WE ARE THE UNION" video which highlights many of the incredible fights and wins we had last year. Despite the challenges of recovering from the pandemic, Culinary Union hit the streets as hospitality workers fought for a contract, protected union and non-union workers by passing SB386 Right to Return into law, and supported workers who sued Station Casinos for violating the SB386 Right to Return law. Last year, Culinary Union took on the IRS over unfair TIP allocation rates, launched the Neighborhood Stability campaign to ensure more Nevadans aren't pushed out of their homes, and made history by running the largest and strong political program in Nevada to knock on over 1 million doors and deliver Democratic control of the US Senate! From organizing and direct action to political advocacy, the Culinary Union remains a powerful force for workers in Nevada. Join us as we celebrate our history of changing lives across Nevada for the 88 years. 📹 Watch our new video: "2022 - WE ARE THE UNION"

The political team, comprised of rank-and-file hospitality workers, is talking with tens of thousands of working families every day – from Reno and Sparks, to Eastside and Westside, and in North Las Vegas. Political canvassers reflect the Culinary Union’s diverse membership, which is majority women and people of color, who are committed to organizing and wining economic and racial justice. The Culinary Union has a 87-year history of fighting and winning for working families in Nevada and doing the militant organizing every day in order to transform the landscape that hospitality workers face, and we have a plan to win. Join the Culinary Union political canvass program! We have a plan to fight for and win Neighborhood Stability and affordable housing, elect leaders who will advocate for issues that are important to union members and working families, and build power for workers ahead of the contract fight in 2023.
