“The Culinary Union is a rank and file union. We’re really militant and disciplined,” explained Bethany Khan, the spokeswoman for the Culinary Workers Union, which has been organizing people in the restaurant and service industries for 80 years.
“We had 300 workers who, in two months, took a leave of absence from their hotel or casino jobs and knocked on 350,000 doors and talked to over 75,000 voters and delivered 54,000 early votes,” Khan rattled off. “We had 60 percent of our membership registered and ready to vote.”
