Patrick Coolican and Las Vegas Culinary Union head get it on while a member watchesIn one of life's questions that just cannot be answered, like who came first, the chicken or the egg, I give you this question: Who is more of an idiot, Patrick Coolican, writer for the Las Vegas Sun or the Culinary Union in Las Vegas? It's a tough question because both Coolican and the union are so much alike.
Both the union members and Coolican don't believe in ethics.
Both the union and Coolican are not very bright.
Both the union and Coolican like to defame people.
Both the union and Coolican have bosses who are pieces of shit that just want to hurt people physically.
Both the union and Coolican act like thugs.
Both the union and Coolican hate Station Casinos.
Both the union and Coolican generally are filled with hate.
Both the union and Coolican are extreme leftists who have no clue about how the world works.
The list can go on and on and on.
Today, comes a story in which the generally incompetent Coolican gives the Culinary Union a big sloppy french kiss in which the Culinary thugs are harassing/extorting the UFC because of the UFC's connection with Station Casinos and their owners.From the Sun: Culinary Union Local 226 set up a website recently at unfitforchildren.org that details the foul-mouthed tirades of Dana White, president of Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Here’s unfitforchildren.org quoting White berating some poor schoolyard schlub: “Whoever gave you that quote is a (anatomical expletive) and a (homophobic slur with a modifying expletive).”
Culinary asks, “Can you imagine NBA Commissioner David Stern or NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell talking like this?”
I like UFC and realize it’s a nice amphetaminic boost for our deathbed economy. But the question put to White is a reasonable one, especially given UFC’s desire for mainstream legitimacy. The Vince McMahon shtick is juvenile.
Another reasonable question, though, from UFC fans: What union? In case you don’t know the history here: It’s no surprise that the big hotel union that represents more than 50,000 workers on the Strip would be sticking the shiv in the side of UFC, which is owned by Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, who in turn own a controlling stake in Station Casinos.

Well to answer the not to bright Coolican's question- if the commissioners of football and basketball talk like Dana White: First, who cares. Second, the question should be should White behave more like Don King or Bob Abrum of boxing. And third, White has made the UFC into a billion dollar business- he knows his fans, his sponsors and his sport. The union and Coolican don't know any of these things.
Further, White has made many people rich,. Coolican hasn't made anybody rich and the union only has made it's leaders rich.
The column prattles on: Station Casinos declined to comment for this column. I’ve done my best to present the company’s views.
And this is how Coolican present the company's view: And the Fertittas should certainly understand these tactics. They’ve used their own tough methods, whether dealing with the competition, their creditors or the Culinary Union.
Just this year, Station lobbied the Clark County Commission to essentially outlaw the business model of a pesky competitor — the little slot parlors called Dotty’s that compete with Station for local players. The Nevada Resort Association, at the urging of Station, argued that it merely asked the commission to respect the law that doesn’t allow slot parlors that lack the capital infusion or jobs of bigger resorts. The Nevada Gaming Commission followed suit. Bye-bye Dotty’s.
When the economy tanked and the Fertittas were faced with the loss of the company, they stared down their creditors and in exchange for $200 million they put back in the company, they reduced Station debt from around $6 billion to around $2 billion while maintaining operational control of the company.
The bankruptcy came soon after the Fertittas took the business private in a leveraged buyout, which is when you buy a company by borrowing money using its own assets as collateral.
Yep, that's presenting the company's view. And what does that have to do with the main part of the article- talking about how the Culinary union is going after the UFC.? Absolutely nothing. It's just a hit piece by Coolican for the union, or in other words Coolican humping the union bosses for the union bosses pleasure. The union says to Coolican "jump" and Coolican answers, "How high, master"
Then, in the end, Coolican channels President and takes on the class warfare angle: If not for the union, whatever is left of our tattered Las Vegas middle class would be gone. Just imagine what the wages of a hotel room attendant would be without the union.
Well, we don’t have to imagine. Our room attendants make 30 percent more than the national average, not including excellent health benefits secured by the Culinary.
Umm, Patrick, Station Casino employees make a pretty good wage without the union and seem to be happy as they constantly rate Station Casinos as one of the best places to work, not only in Las Vegas but in the United States, as you stated in the article, and that still holds true, despite what you say. How many union casinos are on the list, Patty boy?
Then Coolican makes this astounding comment to finish his hit piece on Station Casinos and the UFC: Now let’s presume we destroyed the Culinary and our room attendants made 30 percent less. That’s 30 percent less money going to grocery and clothing stores, soccer clubs — and slot machines at Station Casino properties.
Umm, the brain cells are not clicking to fast today, are they Coolican. First, the employees would not have to pay for union dues. Then, why would the casinos want to lower the wages? The casinos are competing for the best workers in the industry. Perhaps, some people might lose money, but then the good to excellent employees might make more money because right now the union is holding down their wages. Did you ever think of the that, you useful idiot?
BTW, what union do you belong to, Mr. Coolican? Do you have an individual contract or you make the same as the other columnists? Which unions represent the workers at the Las Vegas Sun?
