Beer Nazis? By Newt Briggs, Las Vegas Mercury
Union utters the H-word in battle with Hofbrauhaus
On Friday afternoon, more than a dozen union carpenters and organizers gathered at the Hofbrauhaus, the newly opened Bavarian beer hall across from the Hard Rock Hotel. The group, however, wasn't there to wet their whistles on Bavaria's finest lagers or to dine on the region's famous schnitzels and wursts. Instead, they spread out along the sidewalk in front of the building and distributed tabloid-style leaflets that claimed to offer "The secret history that Hofbrauhaus doesn't want you to know" and mock drink coasters that declared, "Welcome to the Hofbrauhaus, where the Nazi party got its start."
According to Daniel O'Shea, senior organizer for the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters, the union's sudden historical concern was inspired by Hofbrauhaus' failure to meet area wage and benefit standards during the construction of the new building.------------------------------------------- posted 8:30 AM :: reference link ::
