Culinary Union Files Suit Against MGM and Caesars After Multiple Workers Contracted COVID-19

On June 4, Nevada casinos began to reopen. On June 24, Governor Steve Sisolak (D) issued a mandatory universal face covering policy following a spike in COVID-19 infections. On June 29, the Culinary Union filed suit against two MGM Resorts properties and one Caesars Entertainment property following multiple workers being exposed to COVID-19 while on the job.

What’s been happening this past month, and what does the Culinary Union’s new lawsuit say about how Nevada and America in general have been (mis)handling the COVID-19 pandemic?

“We can’t just think about gaming revenues. We need to think about the people. These are real people who are at risk.” 
– Geoconda Arguello-Kline, Culinary Union
