If you are interested in working in a classification that is in the food department, you must bring an up-to-date health card from the Clark County Health District. Food server and cocktail registrants must bring an up-to-date TAM card from TAM of Nevada. 

Orientation will furnish you with a booklet that explains in more detail about joining the Union, getting started, how roll call works, our benefit package and tips in finding a job. This booklet includes a list of all our Union properties with hotline numbers to aid in your job search.
