From the LVRJ: Downtown Las Vegas boosters are worried that a day planned to
showcase local businesses could turn into a showdown between union
workers and casinos on historic Fremont Street.
Members of
Culinary Local 226, which represents about 60,000 workers, plan 10 hours
of picketing Saturday that will coincide with Rediscover Downtown, a
highly publicized attempt by downtown businesses to attract new visitors
to the burgeoning area.
"People don't want to go where there is a
perception of conflict, maybe a picketing is perceived as not really
very friendly," said Rich Worthington, chairman of the Downtown Las
Vegas Alliance, an organization for downtown businesses that's producing
Rediscover Downtown Day.
It's a daylong event that starts at 7
a.m. with the Las Vegas Heart Walk and continues through the day with
businesses offering discounts and incentives to customers aimed at
attracting more people downtown.
The picketing is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Worthington
was joined Monday by Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman, who said longtime
Culinary Secretary-Treasurer D Taylor shouldn't picket during the
promotional event. http://www.lvrj.com/news/city-leaders-fear-union-pickets-will-ruin-downtown-celebration-173220061.html
The Culinary Union is just a bunch of crybabies who scream out because they don't get their way. The Culinary Union really doesn't care about the people they represent- the union leaders just want the union dues to line their pockets and continue to live their lavish lifestyle.
And because they don't their way, they throw childish temper tantrums that people at risk, like picketing and closing down streets that end up with police have to arrest these thugs.
They also try to throw their big fat bellies around by disrupting people just out eating their lunch and now they want to disrupt a celebration that has nothing to do with the Culinary thugs.
Some times, I just with the cops in this town would go Rodney King over these these thugs.
