The Culinary Union, which represents 60,000 hospitality workers in Las Vegas and Reno, addressed concerns about potential layoffs in a statement: "All Culinary Union members employed on the Las Vegas Strip and in Downtown Las Vegas are protected by strong union contracts. Casino resorts are dynamic workplaces, and the companies are constantly making changes… that's why strong Culinary Union contracts are necessary and in place to protect workers. Culinary Union remains committed to ensuring that workers' rights are respected, their jobs are protected, and the union contract is fully enforced."
