Sanders campaign just crossed Nevada’s most powerful union
01/28/16 04:05 PM—UPDATED 01/28/16 04:06 PM
The Bernie Sanders campaign is in the doghouse with the most powerful union of a key battleground state.

Leaders of the deeply influential Culinary Union in Nevada on Thursday accused Sanders staffers of posing as union employees in order to gain access to worker dining rooms in hotels along the Las Vegas strip.

1. Sanders aids stepped in the poo poo again and now are smelly-once again.

2. Same as it ever was....

Apologies to the Talking Heads.

6. That is unfortunate and should be denounced

Those volunteers will be kicked off for sure.


Now lets address the childish sentence you posted. That is almost as egregious.

9. so sorry you do not like my

works. Such a deal.

11. Oddly, you don't sound like you.

You have always come across as mature and level headed but not here. This sounds very juvenile.
I may not agree at all with your politics but you have written most of posts with an educated phrase or two.

3. "Disappointed. Offended. Inappropriate. Mislead. Strongly condemn. Falsifying their affiliation."

Just a few of the choice words and phrases that the culinary union used in their statement regarding Sanders campaign staff impersonating union members in order to gain unauthorized access to restricted (employee-only) areas within four unionized hotels.

It appears that the union is very very angry. The sense of betrayal is clear. Nobody likes to be deceived. This will not turn out well for the Sanders campaign.

We can confirm multiple reports of Bernie Sanders’ campaign staffers attempting and gaining access to Employee Dining Rooms at Las Vegas Strip properties where over 57,000 members that we represent work.

We are disappointed and offended. It's completely inappropriate for any campaign to attempt to mislead Culinary Union members, especially at their place of work.

The Culinary Union button that hundreds of thousands of union members have proudly worn to work every day represents 80 years of struggle and fighting for justice. We strongly condemn anyone falsifying their affiliation with the Culinary Union in order to gain access to properties and we will cooperate with casinos and hotels so that this matter is fully resolved.

The Culinary Union has not made an endorsement and is focused on a major citizenship and voter registration campaign while preparing for upcoming contract negotiations.

4. This is the second big dirty trick by the Sanders campaign.

7. Well they got a pass on the first one..so...

While Bernies spin doctors rail against Hillary with right wing talking points 24/7 all over the Internet

5. Posers.

8. OH NO THEY WORE BUTTONS!

Really - it's not a good thing.

Assemblywoman Maggie Carlton, a longtime Culinary employee who endorsed Clinton on Thursday, said, "The employee dining hall is kind of our place. For people to abuse that is just wrong. I'm really disappointed." Carlton added that anyone accessing the employee areas "is a security issue as well. I would be concerned."

Well gee Maggie. They used the buttons to get into a place they shouldn't have. They didn't misrepresent themselves as anything other than Sanders workers who wanted to ask some union members for their vote. It wasn't like they put a bomb in their underwear or anything .

Geez - It wasn't a good thing when Clinton's camp did it in 2008 either. And it's not a good thing that Sanders workers did it now. But she survived to win the Nevada caucus even though the union endorsed Obama. Sanders will survive this faux outrage.

Of course, I don't think anyone watching television will survive it. It's so much more important than . . . I don't know . . . issues maybe!

10. Has Sanders given a statement about this yet?

If not he better soon. Doesn't look like this is going to disappear.

12. I have a cramp!

From clutching my pearls so tight!

13. Apparently they pissed off the union BOSSES.

The rank and file kind of like the idea of $15 an hour.

14. I'll wait, as this next FOX News-like Daily Controversy will probably get disproven too. nt
