StumbleFLASHPOINT for Oct 01, 2007
Monday, Oct. 1, 2007 | 7:02 a.m.
The Culinary is the big labor kahuna in Las Vegas. But what if a national giant decided to try to get a foothold here? I wondered about that prospect after news from back East that the United Auto Workers had filed a petition to unionize the gigantic Foxwoods casino. The Mashantucket Pequot resort employs 11,000 people and the UAW is going where few unions have had any success: tribal casinos. The petition is for 3,000 dealers at Foxwoods - and people will remember all the troubles the dealers have had here. What if some of them saw this Foxwoods move and decided to e-mail the UAW leaders? Get Foxwoods done and then come here? It could happen.
