The landscape of Nevada politics has recently been shaken by a significant move from the largest union in the state. The Culinary Workers Union 226, representing about 60,000 workers in the hospitality and entertainment industry, has recently released its endorsements for the 2024 Nevada Primary. Alongside the expected endorsements, a list of legislators who have been un-endorsed was also presented. This action stems from legislation passed last year—SB441—which garnered votes from all Republican legislators and partial support from Democrats. SB441 eliminated several pandemic-era mandates, including the daily cleaning requirement for hotel rooms, a move that has sparked considerable controversy.
Predictably, this legislation drew the ire of the Culinary Union, which sees daily room cleaning as a beneficial and standard policy across Las Vegas. Secretary-treasurer Ted Pappageorge voiced concerns that the bill could negatively impact hospitality workers, especially housekeepers and other hotel staff. Despite the union’s objections, the bill was passed with bipartisan support, leading the union to withdraw its backing from lawmakers who voted for it. This bold decision to un-endorse previously supported politicians highlights the union’s commitment to protecting the interests of its members, even at the cost of political alliances.
