They All Suck: Nevada Union Refuses To Endorse A 2020 Democratic Candidate

Days ahead of the Nevada caucuses the state’s influential culinary union decided to sit this one out. They’re not endorsing anyone. Why? Well, because right now, they all suck. And if they don’t suck, they’re peddling action items that will screw them over. It’s become nasty between the Culinary Workers Union and the Bernie Sanders campaign after the former distributed leaflets to their members about the dangers concerning Sanders’ Medicare for All proposals that will gut 150+ million private health care plans. And a lot of union members’ health care plans will be shredded by a Sanders administration. For the past decade, Democrats had warned voters, scared them actually, that GOP tweaks to Obamacare amounted to them taking away people’s health care, only for them to actually push an agenda that…takes away people’s health care.

Hello implosion my old friend, it's nice to see you collapse again. Well, if you lose the culinary workers union, which one is next to NOT endorse or pull their endorsement? Lovin' it!

Be quick, Mike Bloomberg, send the Culinary Workers Union leadership a million dollars. That should nudge them your way.

They should vote for Trump. With good economics, people will pour into Vegas.

Note to union members everywhere: Trump’s economy is the thing keeping your pension plants afloat.

Vote accordingly.

Your run-of-the-mill communists simply can't believe that the working classes aren't behind them. It goes against everything they've been assuming since first they opened the cover on the Manifesto. If you think the healthcare issue is bad, wait until the Comrades start to bleat, "Give up your capitalist pension plans and let the government do it all for you!" It won't be pretty.

From now on if any Trump voters see mini Mike, they need to start shouting

Mini Mike! Stand up Mini Mike!!

As Joe Biden would say, “Yeah, stand up Mike, and pull out your wallet...oh, he is standing up

Part of the reason Nevada turned (D) was the very powerful service and culinary unions in Vegas. This is NOT a good omen for the Communists.

I have to claim ignorance here. How is a culinary union powerful and/or influential?

(asking for a friend?)...

Lost of hotel, restaurant, bar, and casino jobs in Vegas.

From the Union website:

“Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165, Nevada affiliates of UNITE HERE, represent 60,000 workers in Las Vegas and Reno, including at most of the casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip and in Downtown Las Vegas. UNITE HERE represents 280,000 workers in gaming, hotel, and food service industries in North America.

“The Culinary Union, through the Culinary Health Fund, is one of the largest healthcare consumers in the state. The Culinary Health Fund is sponsored by the Culinary Union and Las Vegas-area employers. It provides health insurance coverage for over 130,000 Nevadans, the Culinary Union’s members and their dependents.”
