This includes employees 'in the buffet, coffee shop, main kitchen, and bakery,' according to the Culinary Workers Union Local 226, a Nevada affiliate of UNITE HERE. UNITE HERE, a union of workers in the gaming, hotel, and food service industries, leaked a letter from Palms Casino notifying casino employees that food service company Sodexo would be taking over operation of some of the Palms' food outlets 'effective November 2, 2015.' The union explained on its blog Private Equity Closer Look that 'around 30% of the current Palms workforce will be affected by the change, over 220 workers.' Workers will be offered severance and could reapply for their jobs with Sodexo.
