Rio Yamat at The Associated Press reports Culinary Workers Union Local 226 has achieved a major Labor victory: For the first time in the Union's 90-year history, all major casinos on the Las Vegas Strip are Unionized. Backed by 60,000 Members, most of them in Las Vegas, it is the largest Labor Union in the State Nevada. Experts say the Culinary Union’s success is a notable exception in a national landscape where Union Membership has suffered losses. Ruben Garcia, a Professor and Director of the Workplace Program at the University of Nevada/Las Vegas Law School, said the Culinary Union's resilience stems from its deep roots in Las Vegas, its ability to adapt to the growth and corporatization of the Casino Industry, and its long history of navigating complex power dynamics with casino owners and operators.
