Red Rock Resorts, Culinary Union Back Trump's No-Tax on Tips, Benefiting Employees

Nov 16, 2024, 03:50 PM

In an unusual alignment of interests, Red Rock Resorts and the Culinary Union Workers Local 226 in Nevada have both expressed support for former President Trump's proposal to eliminate taxes on tipped wages. This policy, which was highlighted during the presidential campaign, is seen as beneficial for Las Vegas hospitality workers. Both presidential candidates promised to eliminate taxes on restaurant workers' tips, a move that, if enacted, could be especially beneficial to employees in certain states. The agreement between the gaming company and the union, which typically find themselves at odds, underscores the potential impact of the policy on the service industry.
