In Las Vegas, Nevada, the Culinary Workers Union has been mobilizing its tens of thousands of members to push through Democratic candidates in the upcoming midterm election. This union has been successful before in swinging the vote from Republican to Democratic in Nevada based on its large, diverse membership, including individuals with canvassing experience. Furthermore, these workers enjoy unusually high job security and benefits compared to the rest of the hospitality industry due to their union-negotiated contracts. As a result, there is a strong motivator for the Culinary Workers Union to be a vocal political influence and to elect public officials whose agendas will continue to strengthen the union's bargaining power.
