Culinary Workers Local 226 Union Official ‘Busts Trump’ For 'Wild Campaign Promises' About Servers' Tip Taxes
Over the weekend, Donald Trump proclaimed he would find a way not to tax the tips of Service Workers if he were elected to another term, but that didn't go over well for a Culinary Union Leader. "I am the only Candidate who has ever called for delivering relief to our wonderful Service Workers by NOT TAXING THEIR TIPS. It was my idea that Tips should not be taxed, and only I will GET IT DONE - And do it IMMEDIATELY upon my return to the White House," Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social. "Crooked Joe Biden has taken the totally opposite approach, trying to TAX more and more of their Tips, even hiring 88,000 IRS Agents to collect! In fact, Crooked Joe substantially increased the Reporting Requirements for Workers (2023!) and would go still further if I wasn’t here to watch. Biden could never, and will never, get done what I’ve proposed - Just like he never got Student Loan Forgiveness done. PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT!" That didn't go over well with Culinary Workers Union Local 226. Union Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge released the following statement regarding Trump’s wild campaign promise: For decades, the Culinary Union has fought for Tipped Workers’ Rights and against unfair taxation. Relief is definitely needed for tip earners, but Nevada Workers are smart enough to know the difference between real solutions and wild campaign promises from a convicted felon. Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165, Nevada affiliates of UNITE HERE, represent 60,000 workers in Las Vegas and Reno, including at most of the casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip and in Downtown Las Vegas.
