Union members agree to merger By Alana Roberts, Las Vegas Sun
The Culinary Union represents 40,000 to 43,000 hospitality workers in the Las Vegas Valley, while UNITE represents 4,000 laundry workers in the Las Vegas Valley at such companies as Brady Linen Service, Mission Industries and Flamingo Laundry. The unions are made up largely of women, immigrants, blacks and other minorities. Bruce Raynor, UNITE's president, will serve as the new union's general president, while John Wilhelm, HERE's president, will serve as president for hospitality industries. The two presidents will share executive, budgetary and personnel authority. D. Taylor, secretary-treasurer of the Culinary Union Local 226, said the combined power of the unions will allow UNITE HERE to work more effectively with companies who also have combined their resources through mergers. 'We think very much with gigantic national and multinational corporations, unions need to consolidate. That's why we took (this) step. It's been in the works for a while, and we're excited about it! ,' Taylor said.------------------------------------------- posted 8:59 AM :: reference link ::
