Non-union Las Vegas casino resort workers face increased health and safety risks due in large part to management's lack of concern for and vigilance surrounding employee work conditions.
To understand the health- and safety-related experiences of non-union casino hotel employees, CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy Associate Professor Diana Romero, doctoral alumnus Kathleen Flandrick, doctoral candidate Pamela Vossenas, and Jason Kordosky, a representative from the Local 226 Culinary Workers Union, collaborated in a focus-group study of non-union workers employed in one of eight non-union casino resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada. The findings were published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine.
