Culinary Union members Stella Kalaorom and Veronica Duncan-Bunkley released the following joint statement:
“Donald Trump’s disastrous pandemic response has left frontline workers defenseless. Instead of acting swiftly to contain the pandemic, Trump lied to the American people and intentionally downplayed the virus for months despite knowing how deadly it was. Trump has betrayed workers in Nevada and across the country — and he’s still playing politics with our lives. Under Trump’s watch, essential workers have been treated as if we’re dispensable. Even during a global pandemic, Trump’s backwards policies have given corporations a green light to give workers less protections, not more. Our lives and our livelihoods depend on getting this virus under control. Working families can’t afford another four years of Trump’s chaos. We need leaders who will stand up for working people in the White House, and fight for the workplace protections we deserve. That’s Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.”
