A bill requiring daily room cleanings in hotels of more than 200 rooms in Clark and Washoe counties was introduced in the state Senate Tuesday and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee.
Sen. Lori Rogich, R-Las Vegas, introduced Senate Bill 360, the Hotel Safety Act, and it was immediately endorsed by the Culinary Union.
“Culinary Union fully supports the health and safety of guest room attendants in Nevada and applauds Sen. Rogich for introducing SB360 in the Nevada Legislature,” Culinary Union Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge said in an emailed statement.
The union represents 300,000 workers in gaming, hotel, and food service industries in North America, including 145,000 in Nevada, representing employees at most resorts on the Strip and in downtown Las Vegas.
