Nevada Union Endorsement Now Torn (Updated)
January 9th, 2008
Update: Barack Obama has won the support of the 60,000-member Culinary Workers Union in Nevada
Culinary Workers Local 226, Nevada’s largest and most politically active union has yet to make its endorsement in the Democratic Race. NBC’s Tim Russert had asserted on the Today Show that the union was going to come out for Barack Obama, but with Hillary Clinton’s upset in New Hampshire the Politico is reporting the decision hasn’t yet been made.
The union represents from 60,000 casino and hotel workers.
Meanwhile Ben Smith at the Politico reports that the SEIU union in Nevada has come out for Barack Obama. It only has a quarter of the members of the Culinary union.
