Culinary Thugs At It Again

People of Hate
From the LVRJ: Members of Culinary Local 226 blocked traffic on the Strip in front of the Cosmopolitan hotel Wednesday to protest stalled contract negotiations with management. At least 104 people were cited for obstructing the roadway during the protest, which closed parts of Las Vegas Boulevard for 50 minutes, Las Vegas police said.
Culinary Union spokeswoman Yvanna Cancela says the protest was the first time in two decades that workers have engaged in civil disobedience outside a unionized casino. Workers have been in contract talks with Cosmopolitan owner Deutsche Bank for two years.  http://www.reviewjournal.com/business/organized-labor/protest-blocks-las-vegas-strip
Well, the thug union has acted like thugs outside other casinos.  The Culinary union thugs has engaged in thug tactics before at Station Casinos and their members were arrested for civil disobedience at Palace Station:
Apparently, some union thugs are taking the playbook of Wisconsin public employees as some culinary employees were arrested at Palace station (where O.J./ was arrested) on Thursday evening.
From the LVRJ: Twenty-two Culinary Union members were arrested Thursday night for blocking an entrance to Palace Station, an act of civil disobedience meant to show support for the union organizing effort at Station Casinos Inc.
"I'm willing to be arrested. I'm out here to fight for equal rights for all workers," said Jeanette Hill, a 32-year employee with the Flamingo, who was one of the protesters arrested.

So, who did he union thugs hurt?   Well, anyone coming down to the Strip to catch a show, had dinner reservations, workers of the casinos going home or going to work.
Las Vegas does have one cancer, the Culinary Union.
