Over a year later, it’s clear that there has been no organization in Nevada that has done what the Culinary Union has done to protect workers, extend health care for 18 months, keep working families in their homes, provide essential food assistance daily, enforce worker’s rights on-the-job, deliver Nevada for Biden/Harris and pass much-needed relief for Nevadans, ensure workers are safe at work by passing the first and only-in-the-nation COVID worker safety law (SB4), and win SB3866 in the Nevada Legislature so hospitality workers can have the Right to Return to their jobs as the economy recovers.
The Culinary Union was the first organization in Nevada to call for a mask mandate in early May 2020 and we continue to follow the guidance of the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
On Friday, July 16, 2021, the SNHD recommended a return to indoor masking (for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals) as COVID-19 rates and hospitalization increase. SNHD is recommending Nevadans wear a mask in crowded indoor public places where one may have contact with unvaccinated individuals such as grocery stories, malls, large events, and casinos.
The CDC said this week that more than 97% of people who have been admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 have *not* been vaccinated. The Culinary Union urges Nevadans who are not yet vaccinated to get the vaccine - it is the best way to protect you, your family, our community, our hospitality jobs, and our State’s industries.

El CDC indicó esta semana que más del 97% de las personas que han sido hospitalizadas con COVID-19 *no* se ha vacunado. La Unión Culinaria urge a que se vacunen los habitantes de Nevada que aún no lo han hecho - es la mejor manera de protegerse ellos mismos, a sus familias, a nuestra comunidad, y nuestros empleos de hotelería, como también a las industrias de nuestro estado.
