Culinary Union Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge applauded the idea in a Friday statement.
“For decades, the Culinary Union has fought for tipped worker’s rights and against unfair taxation and we are proud to fight alongside Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, Senator Jacky Rosen, and Congressman Steven Horsford for tipped worker tax relief,” Pappageorge said.
“Workers, unlike big corporations and the super-rich, are willing to pay their fair share and Culinary Union will always fight to protect workers and against unfair taxes,” he said.
“Culinary Union applauds Senator Rosen, a former Culinary Union member and tipped worker, and Senator Cortez Masto for joining bipartisan legislation to provide relief to hospitality workers in Nevada. Real solutions are what workers rely on and we are proud to have senators who are fighting to deliver real results for working families,” Pappageorge said.
