THESE COMPANIES TOOK $1.8 BILLION IN FEDERAL AID TO SAVE JOBS. THEY LAID OFF 90,000 WORKERS ANYWAY.

Argüello-Kline, of the Culinary Workers Union in Nevada, said about half of the 60,000 employees represented by the union still haven’t been called back to work at Las Vegas hotels and restaurants. As of Dec. 3, Brady Linen had not yet rehired 296 workers, according to the union.

Rodriguez, who presses bathrobes, is among those who haven’t been called back. As of Tuesday, she hadn’t heard from Brady Linen. 

She’s been looking for other employment, but her experience is limited. She’s been a laundry worker for 17 years, and no one is hiring.

“I’ve worked so hard. I don’t know why they’re not helping us,” she said of her former employer.
