Rosen said she wanted to hear directly from workers about how economic and policy changes may be affecting them.
“From lower visitation rates and fewer shifts, we’re already seeing direct impacts on Nevada and the hospitality workers who run our economy,” Rosen said. “I’m grateful to join the Culinary Union today to hear directly from its members about how they’re being impacted.”
Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer of the Culinary Union, said workers are already feeling the effects through reduced hours and paychecks.
“Workers are living through what we call the ‘Trump Slump,’ and it’s showing up in their hours and their paychecks,” Pappageorge said. “Las Vegas is a hospitality-dependent economy and we need policies that welcome visitors, respect workers, and strengthen our communities.”
