“The Culinary Union applauds Caesars Entertainment and the hospitality industry for making on-site vaccinations available to employees and for ensuring that workers have adequate access to get vaccinated. The Culinary Union strongly encourages hospitality workers to get vaccinated and take advantage of the on-site vaccines when they are available. The COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, and offered at no-cost to workers.
