Stop the Trump Slump!

On September 22, U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) joined Culinary Union President Diana Valles and Culinary Union members at the Culinary Union HQ to call out the devastating impacts of the Trump economy on Nevada’s largest industry – hospitality. Since the beginning of the Trump administration, reckless policies have slowed tourism, raised prices, and hurt working families across Nevada. Tariffs, mass deportation threats, and Medicaid cuts are creating chaos in the lives of working people, while billionaires and big corporations profit off the Big [Ugly] Bill. The Trump Slump many of us were fearing has arrived in Las Vegas and it has been impacting our union jobs and workers’ hours. Families are paying more for groceries, gas, and housing. Sky-high auto insurance rates and medical prices are crushing working people, while billionaires and big corporations got permanent tax breaks in the Big Ugly Bill. Instead of delivering relief, the Trump administration has focused on arresting dishwashers and gardeners, slashing benefits for seniors, and pushing chaotic tariffs that have driven away customers from Canada, Mexico, Southern California, and around the world. But Las Vegas is a union town. We know how to fight and we know how to win.
