Union leader: Casinos taking a pass on federal relief in order to terminate workers

[TexasTowelie]

UNITE HERE president D. Taylor says he lobbied Congress in March to ensure the gaming industry would be included in federal relief under the CARES Act, which offers $2.2 trillion in relief for American businesses, including the casinos.

Now, he says “they haven’t taken advantage of that. I’m wondering why they asked me to lobby for it.”

UNITE HERE is the parent union of Culinary Local 226, which represents more than 50,000 hospitality workers in Southern Nevada.

The American Gaming Association, which helped lead the lobbying effort, did not respond to requests for comment.

1. Told you so!

Got that from a Management Person two weeks ago. All about helping the Nevada GOP kill of the power of the Culinary Workers union and the Nevada Democratic Party.

2. Full speed ahead.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

3. Red Rock Resorts took 1.4 billion week ago today.

They are under Culinary contract at a few of their Joints but not all. This is going to get friggin ugly shortly. Had the pleasure walking picket lines with these folks more than once,and before this Virus out break,we never went into an non Union Casino.

Watch Caesar's Entertainment as well as MGM for court action in regards to wholesale firing of their Union Workers.
