The Culinary Workers Union represents over 60,000 workers from Nevada’s casino industry and they have pledged their support to Joe Biden in his reelection campaign this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n Nevada’s largest labor group is the Culinary Workers Union, which largely involves NE residents in roles including housekeepers, waitstaff, cooks, bellhops, and porters within casinos.<\/p>\n The union is planning on sending members out on the streets of Nevada throughout the year – with leaders looking to gather support for Joe Biden ahead of the US presidential election on the 5th of November.<\/p>\n Having played an important role in keeping Nevada as a democrat state both in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, the power of the Culinary Workers Union cannot be overlooked.<\/p>\n Nevada supported Hilary Clinton in 2016 and that year marked the first time the Silver State had got the presidential outcome wrong since 1976.<\/p>\n Ted Pappageorge is the secretary-treasurer of the union and he described this week the further efforts his team will go to this year to rally voters within Nevada.<\/p>\n \u201cBy election day, we\u2019ll have 500 union members \u2014 men and women that are normally cleaning rooms in hotels, cooking food, or serving drinks \u2014 out full-time, knocking on doors, registering folks to vote, taking folks to the polls,\u201d Pappageorge explained.<\/p>\n Union members will be paid for their time rallying for Biden with union dues used to pay members for their door-to-door efforts building up to and on election day.<\/p>\n \u201cThey sign up for three to six months during an election year. They walk the neighbourhoods every day, 10 hours a day, in 110 degrees. Workers talking to workers. That\u2019s how we move the working class vote in Nevada.\u201d<\/p>\nCulinary Workers Union Set To Rally For 2024 Election<\/strong><\/h3>\n
