Nev. Union Support For Sanders Shows Limits Of Labor Warning

Feb 24, 2020

By MICHELLE L. PRICE Associated Press
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Members of Nevada's most politically powerful labor group were warned by union leaders that Bernie Sanders' plan would doom their prized health care, but they voted for him anyway.
 
The casino workers of the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 are powerful enough in Nevada Democratic politics that special caucus sites are set up in Las Vegas Strip casinos to accommodate them.
 
In at least four of those seven caucus sites Saturday, workers threw their support behind Sanders.
 
The results are a warning sign to labor unions that any attempt to influence the primary risks being ignored, and a harbinger of Sanders' strength with working-class voters, Latinos and labor rank and file.

You won’t find a paywall here. Come as often as you like — we’re not counting. You’ve found a like-minded tribe that cherishes what a free press stands for.  If you can spend another couple of minutes making a pledge of as little as $5, you’ll feel like a superhero defending democracy for less than the cost of a month of Netflix.
