LAS VEGAS – Tami Paynter planned to park her way to retirement.
But the Las Vegas valet driver of 34 years is no longer sure her plan will pan out.
Now age 60, Paynter was laid off a year ago from her union job at the Plaza Hotel & Casino. Her contract allows her rehiring until July 31, but the call has not come.
If she is called back, her pay, benefits and seniority will restore to what they were before the layoff. If not, she will be terminated and left to find work elsewhere.
News headlines have heralded the restart of Nevada s economic engine in Las Vegas, but frontline service workers like Paynter have yet to see progress in their own lives. Many are struggling.
