Posted on: $25,000 check cuts no ice with bartender

How big an organization is the Union? And to what purpose does it serve? It is my contention that the union is there to serve the union, not it's members. If a bartender gets fired, another will go in his/her place, paying the same union dues. So what is the incentive for the Union to fight for that fired bartender? The contract is the main thing in this state (right to work) and for that, the Union is instrumental. If they (the Union bosses) have to throw a few bartenders under the bus, in order to ink the next contract, isn't the "greater good" being done? As far as lawyers, they have to work in this town, and the major employer (outside government) is the casinos. Where would you expect her loyalties to be? What I'm describing is the real world, as it is, not as it should be. "The truth? You can't handle the truth!"
