In 2023, Culinary Workers Union Local 226 fiercely opposed the passage of SB441, a bipartisan measure supported by the resort industry that ended daily room cleaning mandates initially implemented during the pandemic.
During months of negotiations with more than 50 Strip and downtown resort operators that finally wrapped up in early 2024, the union reinstated daily room cleaning language into the five-year collective bargaining agreements that expire in 2028.
The Nevada Resort Association was gearing up to block the legislation while the Culinary Union sent out a statement Monday in support of the bill and thanked Rogich, who the union endorsed in last year’s election.
