So the Culinary union has set Friday as its strike date, just six days before the Formula 1 race. We locals have incurred unbelievable costs and inconvenience to bring this event to our city, and this is how the union, representing many local residents, treats us?

After many years of guaranteeing Harry Reid’s re-election and getting our airport renamed after him, the union has hit a new low. The Culinary’s negotiations should never threaten to disrupt a major event. What’s next, the Super Bowl?
