Amazing work!

On September 27, 2017, the Culinary Union joined the Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Vegas in a Mass for immigrants, refugees, and workers at the Roman Catholic Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer.

The Culinary Union has continued to fight for immigrant rights, most recently working Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients, and those affected by the Trump administration’s decision to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

The special Mass for immigrants, refugees, and workers aimed to unify those within the fight for DACA and TPS, and highlighted the need to stand (and kneel) together in support of those under attack in our country.

To get text alerts on upcoming events like the Special Mass, and to join the fight for immigrants, text “TPS” to 877-877.

As some of you may already know, Ramadan started last week on June 5th. We have many Muslim members of CLUE LV who have been especially involved and committed in supporting the economic justice and rights for hotel, restaurant, laundry, and airport workers. Please see the link for some background on Ramadan if you are not familiar with it, and we at CLUE wish those who observe fasting (and everyone alike!) a safe, fulfilling, and spiritual month!

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and a time of fasting for Muslims all over the world

Early voting for the Primary Election has started! The Culinary Workers Union has posted their endorsements for the race. Don't forget to vote early between now and June 10th, or vote on the 14th at your set polling location! Local elections are just as important as national ones. :)

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

The election is just around the corner – June 14, 2016 is Primary Election Day with early voting available from May 28 – June 10. We’ve enclosed the Culinary Union’s recommendations for the primary election.

We select endorsements with the well-being of Union members and the future of the labor movement in mind.

For our recommendations for Congress, State Legislature, and County Commission, we review the voting records of current elected officials and the opinions and philosophies of new and old candidates.

We all know that politicians will often say anything to get elected, so we review
candidates’ records and look for people who put their words into action.

For our recommendations in the judicial races, we consult with attorneys who represent Union members and the Culinary in court. We rely on first-hand reports of how these candidates have treated Union members in legal cases they have had in Nevada’s court system.

For this primary election, we followed almost all recommendations from the Central Labor Council. All endorsed candidates appeared before an interview panel and answered tough questions about how they’ll fight for union members and their families.

Nevada’s primary elections are “closed” so you can only vote for candidates running in your registered party.

We encourage members of the Culinary and Bartenders Unions to exercise their right to vote (and vote early!) by participating in the upcoming election. Now is our time to let politicians
know we are engaged and active.

If you have questions about our recommended candidates or the election process, please feel free to call the Union’s Political Office: (702) 386-5279.

Fraternally,
Geoconda Argüello-Kline
Secretary-Treasurer

Ted Pappageorge
President

Estimados Hermanos y Hermanas,

Las elecciones están a la vuelta de la esquina – el 14 de junio es el Día de las Elecciones Primarias y hay votaciones tempranas disponibles desde el 28 de mayo – 10 de junio. Con esta carta hemos incluido las recomendaciones de la Unión Culinaria para las elecciones primarias.

Seleccionamos a nuestros refrendos pensando en el bienestar de los miembros de la Unión y en el futuro del movimiento laboral.

Para decidir cuáles serán nuestras recomendaciones para los cargos en el Congreso, la legislatura estatal y en la comisión del condado, analizamos el historial de nuestros oficiales electos actuales asícomo las opiniones y filosofías de los candidatos anteriores y los nuevos. Todos sabemos que los políticos frecuentemente dicen lo que sea para ser elegidos, de manera que estudiamos el trayecto del candidato y buscamos personas que conviertan sus palabras en hechos.

Para decidir sobre nuestras recomendaciones para los puestos judiciales, consultamos con los abogados que representan a personas sindicalizadas y a la Culinaria en los tribunales. Nos basamos en reportes de primera mano que describen la manera en que estos candidatos trataron a personas
agremiadas en los casos legales dentro del sistema jurídico de Nevada.

Para estas elecciones primarias, seguimos casi todas las recomendaciones del Consejo Laboral Central. Todos los candidatos refrendados se presentaron ante un panel de entrevistas y contestaron preguntas difíciles sobre cómo lucharán por los afiliados sindicales y sus familias.

Las elecciones primarias de Nevada son “cerradas,” de manera que usted solamente podrá votar por los candidatos que se postulen bajo el partido con el cual usted esté registrado.

Animamos a los miembros de la Unión Culinaria y de la Unión de Cantineros a que hagan uso de su derecho a votar (¡y a que voten temprano!) participando de las elecciones que se aproximan. Ahora es el momento de hacerles saber a los políticos que estamos involucrados y activos.

Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre los candidatos que recomendamos o sobre el proceso de elecciones, no dude en llamar a la Oficina Política de la Unión: (702) 386-5279.

Fraternalmente,
Geoconda Argüello-Kline
Secretaria-Tesorera
