And members of Culinary Workers Local 226 of Las Vegas, Unite Here’s and Nevada’s largest individual local – with 57,000 members – defied triple-digit temperatures to mount health care demonstrations outside the senator’s city office.
“Medicaid covers 248,000 low-income NV children. Call @SenDeanHeller at (202)224-6244 & ask him to #ProtectMedicaid. Senator Heller, Protect Nevada,” one Local 226 tweet says. “Senator Heller must stand up for working families. We will hold him to his word—everyone should have access to healthcare & that means voting NO on Senate healthcare bill,” the other adds.
