"A spokesman for the Council of Labor Unions, which represents approximately 909 of the resort's 1,318 workers, did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

"The unions and the resort have been unable to reach a new collective bargaining agreement for more than a year."

"In a document included with the bankruptcy filing, Greenbrier Chief Financial Officer Michael McGovern blamed the labor disagreement for $25 million in lost revenue last year."

The Obama depression and unions seem to be killing a lot of jobs.

The Greenbrier has gone downhill in recent years, the Homestead is much nicer.

I thought the federal government owned a stake in the Greenbrier as it was an evacuation point for government officials?

Is Marriot Union?

I bet the Union Offers consessions to the new owners, if so.

I wonder how many business conventions planned for the Greenbrier were canceled because of the government's not-so veiled threats.

So labor unions lawyers destroy what the Soviet Union’s missiles couldn’t. Thus ends the final chapter for the “Last Resort”.

Back in 1979 me and three high school buddies visited an older pal who was an apprentice pastry chef at the Greenbrier. When we got there, our graduated friend (who, by the way, was a homosexual) stuffed us in a closet and loaded us down with food swiped from the expensive buffet. Later we played a free round of golf on the expensive golf course by simply walking out and teeing it up. The apprentice chef dormatories, we learned, were filled with young homosexuals going into the food service industry. I recall a fella coming around checking us out, and our older pal told him to stay the heck away. I stayed with my aunt. My high school friends survived without incident on the floor of the dorm room. We had a blast.

Where will the Congressional Democrats go each year to live it up? They have been using this hotel for their annual retreat for years.
