Las Vegas mayor criticized for pitching city as virus test case

The casino workers’ Culinary Union, which represents about 60,000 bartenders, cooks, housekeepers and other employees, said Goodman’s remarks were “outrageous considering essential frontline workers have been dealing with the consequences of this crisis firsthand.”

“Workplaces need to be safe and healthy — not a petri dish,” Geoconda Arguello-Kline, the union’s secretary-treasurer, said.

The union said 11 of its members so far have died of covid-19.
