The Culinary has constructed in the Sun Belt desert something that seems to belong to another moment in history. It represents 60,000 hospitality workers across Nevada’s casinos, forming an enormous concentration of working-class power in the otherwise hostile territory of the low-wage service economy in a right-to-work state. It accounts for one-fifth of the entire membership of Unite Here, of which it is by far the largest and most internally important local. (The current president of Unite Here, D. Taylor, was previously the president of the Culinary.)
