Beverly Hoffrichter’s voice is hoarse.
For eight hours Hoffrichter, a cocktail waitress at the D, was picketing outside the property with her fellow Culinary Union workers as part of a massive protest outside all nine downtown casinos Saturday. Hundreds came and went in shifts during the protest, but not Hoffrichter. She stayed.
Her scratchy voice was the result of hours chanting and shouting — a badge of honor in the larger fight for union workers to make their voices heard. The 3,500 Culinary Union members with jobs downtown were picketing to maintain health and retirement benefits in their contracts.

Las Vegas restaurants in hotels have some of the slowest, least enthusiastic table service I have ever seen.
I thought all these union workers would be happy with obamaDOESN’Tcare
Why?
Doesn't Obamacare cover everyone ... other than (of course) President, vice President, and Congress?
The protesters signs say “No hay justicia, no hay paz”
Better would be “No dinero, no paz.” (No money, no peace.) That’s how unions operate in any language.
But..but...why? Their guy, the Messiah is providing FREE health care for all regardless of race,color, creed, national origin or legal status. Its like the cell phones. Its FREE. Why worry about it? Or is there something rotten that we mere mortals don't know about?
They all came to Vegas to be rich and famous. Instead, they are waiting on you, AND THEY HAVE A UNION....
Were I emperor of the US for a day, among the the things on my list to do would be to stop all government agencies from holding meetings in Nevada, eliminate tax deductability of all expenses related to business travel/transactions in Nevada, and increase the tax rate on gambling winnings to 250%; then sit back and see how long Dingy Harry lasts.
That is a statement that threatens violence and murder if they do not get their way. It started during the Rodney King riot, and Maxine "Kerosene" Waters led the mobs in that chant.
She should have been arrested for inciting riots, but she wasn't.
Maxine Kerosene evokes that classic Fred Sanford line:
“I’d like to push your face into some dough, and make me some gorilla cookies!”
Yes but didn’t Boy Bam poo poo taking vacations to Las Vegas?
These Unionistas voted Dem and let them enjoy the fruits of the Dem. Slow business, dwindling income and bennies being shifted to lower levels.
Who gives a rats patootie about their selfish antics? Scrooge em all.
“The 3,500 Culinary Union members with jobs...”
IF I owned a casino, none of them would have jobs. There’s plenty of folks on unemployment who I could hire to replace their sorry butts.
You haven’t been to Fairbanks then. And yes, I’ve been to Vegas several times!
Checking my “give a shiite” meter......nope, not a bit. As mrs. Øbozo sez, “let ‘em eat cake”.
When did it become illegal to fire someone for joining a union? I ask because that would help identify laws that need to be repealed in order to put businesses and unions back on a level playing feild.
This is exactly the reason that they get away with it. No balls from the employers so suffer the consequences.
Especially since the fine citizens of Nevada insist on sticking us with Dingy Harry.
