Potential Strike and Politics Blend in Las Vegas

President Joe Biden may join the Culinary Union local 226 picket line if negotiations with the Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino fail. This union, influential in Nevada politics, has secured over 30 agreements with other Vegas hotels, benefiting 50,000 workers. This move aligns with Biden's previous support for striking autoworkers in Michigan and comes as both Biden and former President Donald Trump vie for labor support in the lead-up to the November general election. Nevada plays a critical role as a key electoral battleground state. Biden's visit is also part of his preparation for the Nevada presidential preference primary on February 6th.
