Eileen Scott is a Culinary Union member who works as a cocktail server at Harrah's Las Vegas, and she is not fearful of striking if it means she'll receive the respect and representation she thinks she deserves from her employer.
"What we do know is that we can't stay where we are right now," said Scott. "As a union, we have to push, we're known to go out on strike to be heard and be understood. We go out there on the street and hopefully the company comes around and sees that we are needed. During COVID, I want them to know that we worked really hard; we put our health in jeopardy. We're not asking for anything that we don't deserve."
She continued, "We're not standing alone. We are the people, we are Vegas, we are here to bring in the people; the customers, we are here to serve them. We are proud to be here. We're all together, and seeing my brothers and sisters with me; it's going to be okay."
