“Working-class folks, they are getting squeezed out of the housing market, and rents are through the roof, and there’s a lot of abuses that haven’t been curbed,” said Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer for Nevada’s Culinary Workers Union, which represents 60,000 workers in the restaurant and hospitality industry. “I think with the political class out there, they are not taking this on as aggressively as they need to. We see some stuff from the Democrats on housing, but it’s just got to be much more aggressive.”
