Culinary Reelects Las Vegas Casino Union Executives, Begins 88th Year

The Culinary Union in Las Vegas has reelected its three top officials. The hospitality trade group has embarked on its 88th year of “fighting and winning for working families in Nevada.”

An affiliate of Unite Here, a nationwide labor organization that represents employees in the hotel, food service, laundry, warehouse, and casino gaming industries, the Culinary Union counts about 60K members in Las Vegas and Reno. Culinary represents nongaming employees at most Strip casino resorts.

Running unopposed, union officials said Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer for the Culinary Union, President Diana Valles, and Vice President Leain Vashon were all successfully reelected to their posts. The Culinary Union’s leadership consists of three elected officers, 10 executive board members, three trustees, and a chaplain.
