Meet Jean Marc, Pastry Cook, Culinary Union member for 8 years -
"This administration is not doing the right thing. I believe that ICE needs to respect due process and avoid unnecessary removals.

The economy is in a slump because of the chaos. Prices keep rising, while tourism in Las Vegas has slowed down. Our work schedules have been impacted and we are losing hours.

State Senator James Ohrenschall is excellent and he fights for us. Our union supports him and I fully stand with him."

"Esta administración no está haciendo lo correcto. Creo que ICE debe respetar el debido proceso y evitar deportaciones innecesarias.

La economía está en crisis debido al caos. Los precios siguen subiendo, mientras que el turismo en Las Vegas ha disminuido. Nuestros horarios de trabajo se han visto afectados y estamos perdiendo horas.

El senador estatal James Ohrenschall es excelente y lucha por nosotros. Nuestra Union lo apoyo plenamente.”

🎉 Happy 1 year anniversary to the Culinary Union HQ on Spring Mountain.

Culinary Union has been fighting and winning for 90 years! We outgrew the Commerce HQ because we’ve grown together for nearly a century.

100% of casinos on LV Strip are UNION! We’ve won Venetian, Sphere, Fontainebleau LV, the Virgin LV strike, and we continue fighting for you everyday.

We’ve fought and won. Now, we have a new home to keep fighting and winning for workers at non-union restaurants, Station Casinos, and the arenas!

We’ve been smart and careful with our money. Our Spring Mountain HQ is a financially sound investment that makes us stronger, ready to take on big corporations, and win strikes. It will be a source of power and financial security for our union family - for now and the next 90 years.

Meet Lino Paredes, Banquet Lead, Culinary Union member for 7 years -

"I support having more affordable rent so that one day I could buy my first home. It’s important to elect more Culinary Union members because they are workers like us and understand our struggles.

I support re-electing Assemblymember Linda Hunt because she knows what it's like to work our jobs, make decisions at the kitchen table, and I trust her to fight for us.

It's important to vote in the Primary and help get political leaders from our community elected so they can keep working to protect us. Every vote makes a difference."

Conozca a Lino Paredes, Líder de Banquetes, Miembro de la Unión Culinaria por 7 años-

"Apoyo tener renta más asequible para que algún día pueda comprar mi primera casa. Es importante elegir a más miembros de la Union Culinaria porque son trabajadores como nosotros y entienden nuestras luchas.

Apoyo la reelección de la Asamblea Linda Hunt porque sabe lo que es trabajar en nuestros empleos, tomar decisiones en la mesa de la cocina, y confío en ella para luchar por nosotros.

Es importante votar en las primarias y ayudar a que los líderes políticos de nuestra comunidad sean elegidos para que puedan seguir trabajando para protegernos. Cada voto marca la diferencia.”
