Major Union Endorses Harris’s Promise to End Taxes on Tips After Criticizing Trump for Same Plan

The Culinary Workers Union in Nevada endorsed a plan by Vice President Kamala Harris to end taxes on tips for service workers after criticizing former President Donald Trump for proposing the same plan two months prior.

During a rally in Las Vegas on Aug. 10, Harris said that she would back ending taxes on tips if elected president, mirroring a policy proposal put forward by Trump at the beginning of June.

“It is my promise to everyone here when I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America, including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” Harris said during an Aug. 10 rally in Las Vegas.

The Culinary Workers Union, which oversees a crucial voting bloc in the battleground state of Nevada, was quick to endorse the plan.
