Unions on a roll in Las Vegas
a good news article about unions

<snip> As the executive council of the AFL-CIO gathers here to consider ways to invigorate the country's struggling labor movement, Las Vegas offers a vivid picture of the kind of reach - and results - the movement aims to achieve.

Among union officials and academic experts in California, the Las Vegas model for both organizing and training new members is held up as a resounding success.

"The unionization here has reduced the poverty rate; it reduces inequality," said C. Jeffrey Waddoups, an economist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
