Nevada's powerful Culinary Workers Union will not endorse in the presidential primary, while criticizing Bernie Sanders’ signature Medicare for All proposal, according to three sources with knowledge of the decision.
The mobilization of service employees, many of them in Las Vegas, are critical to the Nevada caucuses. And the focus on Culinary’s dispute with Sanders has been watched closely ahead of voting there. This year, the union helped drag itself into the crossfire by criticizing Medicare for All in a leaflet to members that outraged Sanders’ supporters and other progressive groups. Union leaders were “doxed” by having personal information released on social media.
“My mentions on Twitter are completely unmanageable,” Culinary spokeswoman Bethany Khan told POLITICO after posting on Twitter that “I'm trying to do the organizing work to make sure we have a good #NVCaucus - you know the thing that Twitter activists wish they could do.” “It’s one thing for Culinary to tell its members and distribute fliers saying, ‘Look, we don’t think this plan is good for our union.’ It’s another thing to attack them, upset them and now get them mobilized to make sure that their members don’t vote for a candidate,” he said.
Union Members stood up! I am glad.

Nevada culinary union lays into Sanders supporters after health care backlashA powerful hospitality workers union in Nevada accused supporters of Bernie Sanders of “viciously” attacking the group, after it circulated a flier criticizing Sanders’ “Medicare for All” proposal ccadelago This story says literally nothing about what the alleged behavior was and who the alleged Sanders supporters are. The brown shirts!! Every socialist in history has had them in the background. One shot up the Republican leadership at a baseball game. You can’t hold Bernie responsible, however, this needs to be applied fairly. Many blame Trump for a few nutcases that support him. He disavowed. My husband in a union hell his insurance is not that and he work for a big company like my husband said you don’t have to fall in line because we your job is going you don’t have insurance you better be look out for family because hey will not when you job is bye bye
