The union's non-endorsement comes before next Saturday's Democratic caucus and following a disagreement with Sanders over Medicare For All.
The Culinary Workers Union, a powerful force in Nevada politics, announced Thursday they would not be endorsing a candidate in the state’s primary contest. A dispute that erupted this week between the organization and Sen. Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign threatens to upend predictions for next Saturday’s Democratic caucus.
As Sanders was locking in his victory in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday night, the Nevada Independent published a story about the contents of a flier being sent by email and text to the 60,000 members of the Unite Here, Local 226, which represents food service, housekeeping and other workers in the hotel industry. The flier outlines the policy positions of the Democratic presidential contenders and stated that Sanders would “end Culinary Healthcare.
“It’s disappointing that Senator Sanders’s supporters have viciously attacked the Culinary Union and working families in Nevada simply because our union has provided facts on what certain healthcare proposals might do to take away the system of care we have built over 8 decades,” said Argüello-Kline in a statement.“No one should attack @Culinary226 and its members for fighting hard for themselves and their families.
“I stand with the working men and women of @Culinary226 because supporting labor means supporting our unions,” wrote former Vice President Joe Biden.“My response is I have a lot more union supporter than Pete Buttigieg has or ever will have,” said Sanders.
