Nevada Gov. Sisolak signs legislation protecting Nevada workers and businesses
“Unprecedented times call for extraordinary measures. This bill isn’t about economic expansion – it's about our State’s economic survival,” Gov Sisolak said. “It’s about acknowledging that Nevada relies heavily on a single industry – the hospitality industry – and in order to make it through this historic storm, we must ensure it survives. But it’s not just about protecting the businesses – it's also about protecting the workers that keep this industry and our economy running. “
Governor Sisolak was joined, virtually, at the signing by Geoconda Argüello-Kline, the Secretary-Treasurer of the Culinary Workers Union, Local 226, Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and President MGM Resorts, and Irma Fernandez, daughter of Adolfo Fernandez, a utility porter and namesake of the bill, who passed after contracting COVID-19.
