Comedian Keith Lyle, known for his role in "The Hangover," has commented on the ongoing hospitality workers' union negotiations. He said that the focus should be on mediation and productive discussions rather than public stunts. Lyle made this statement in a post on X on January 14.

"Why don't you sit down for a negation session? Or how about the mediation the current non striking union members are asking for," said Lyle, Actor and Comedian. "Looks like you are using the situation for publicity instead of doing your work."

According to the Culinary Union's X post, Lyle's comments addressed the handling of ongoing strikes by hospitality workers at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, who are advocating for a union contract. The Culinary Union, representing over 60,000 workers in Nevada, has been a leading force behind these strikes, urging customers to respect picket lines in support of workers. Lyle expressed frustration with the union's tactics, advocating for negotiation and mediation instead of public demonstrations.

As of January 1, 2025, UNITE HERE Local 1 members are facing an increase in union dues.

A case study by the Center for Independent Employees suggests that workers may choose to decertify a union if they feel it no longer represents their interests or if they believe direct communication with management could better address their needs. For example, employees at Mountaire Farms in Selbyville, Delaware voted to decertify the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 27 union seeking improved benefits and more direct interaction with the company's human resources department. This decision resulted in enhanced benefits including supplemental life insurance and participation in the company’s 401(k) plan.
