Hispanic Heritage Month Profiles: Hector Beltran

“Being Latino and being part of a strong union in Las Vegas is something I’m very proud of,” Hector Beltran said. “The Culinary Union has improved my life by providing me with representation, the best health insurance for me and my family, and a good salary. That is why I invite other Latino workers to be part of the union, so that they can also enjoy these benefits.”
