Culinary Union Archives: The Las Vegas Dream (excerpt). Since 1935, the members of the Culinary Union and their sister union Bartenders Union have struggled and sacrificed to build a strong union. In the process, they have won a standard of living for hospitality workers unmatched in any other city in the United States. Throughout the Union’s history, union members have again and again been faced with the same decision. Stand up and fight or take what the bosses’ have given them. Each time they’ve stood up! YES WE CAN! ----------------------------------- #LasVegas #Vegas #VegasStrip #LasVegasStrip #NV #Nevada #UniteHere #Union #Unions #Strike #1u #Solidarity #WorkersRights #UnionStrong #CulinaryUnion #Local226 #Jobs #Economy #FairWages #EqualPay #NoJusticeNoPeace #Health #Healthcare (at Las Vegas Strip)

REPOST @AFLCIO: Hattie Canty grew up near Mobile, Alabama, before eventually settling in Las Vegas with her family. In 1972, she began working various jobs as a maid and janitor. She became active in the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and was elected to the local's executive board in 1984, the year they staged a 75-day walkout to improve health insurance for casino workers. In 1990, she became the president of the union, and in 1991, the Culinary Union began the longest labor strike in American history, with a walk off from the Frontier Hotel over unfair labor practices. Six years later, the hotel's new owner settled with the Union. Canty not only fought to make sure that working people got paid the living wages they earned, she helped integrate the industry, helped people of color obtain better jobs and helped established the Culinary Training Academy, which teaches job skills necessary for employment in the hospitality industry. ----------------------------------- Video from "Line in the Sand: The People, Power, and Progress of the Culinary Union," a project by the University of Nevada Las Vegas. ----------------------------------- #HattieCanty #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM #LasVegas #Vegas #VegasStrip #LasVegasStrip #DTLV #NV #Nevada #UniteHere #Union #Unions #1u #Solidarity #WorkersRights #UnionStrong #CulinaryUnion #FairWages #EqualPay #NoJusticeNoPeace #1uBHM #BlackHistory #Healthcare #AFLCIO (at McCarran International Airport)
