The Culinary Workers Union, representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada, US, has overwhelmingly voted to favor a strike, with 95% supporting the action. This strike is set to impact 22 casino resorts along the Las Vegas Strip and holds historical significance, as the union hasn't organized a strike for over three decades.
The timing of this strike vote is crucial, given that it precedes high-profile events like the Formula One Grand Prix in November and the Super Bowl a few months later, both are expected to draw hundreds of thousands of tourists to Las Vegas.
Negotiations between the workers and the resorts have been ongoing since April, with critical demands including higher wages and improved working conditions. Despite the resorts reaping record-breaking profits, they continue to operate with reduced staffing levels implemented during the pandemic, leaving workers underpaid and overworked. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, last year, the average wage of workers in Vegas was 12% below the nationwide average. Another report revealed that almost half of all Americans reported feeling overworked.
This development in Nevada is part of a larger trend toward unionization in the United States, including workers in companies like Amazon, Apple, and Starbucks. In 2022, union petitions reached their highest level since 2015, and public support for unions stands at 71%, the highest it has been in over 50 years. However, union-busting tactics have led to a continuous decline in unionized workers over the past few decades, with only 11% of workers represented by a union.

🤘☄️💥Russell Brand's Curious Career Path🔥✍️🌎
The early 2000s until around 2015 Russell Brand was a darling of British Television. His comedic timing and his flamboyant style made him an instant hit with the viewing public.
Brand’s career trajectory was climbing higher and higher. Then all of sudden he seemed to take a turn towards becoming an activist/health and well being guru. At the start of this new direction it seemed he still hadn’t lost his lustre with his fans. Even being voted him as the world’s fourth most influential thinker.
Over the past 3 years his activist image has increased and he’s been taking positions on politics and world events that the journalists, who once promoted him, would not dare take. He even had Seymour Hersh on his show to discuss his findings about the USA’s involvement in the attack on the Nord Stream gas pipeline which was undoubtedly an act of American terrorism

The class struggle is not static to our own nations. We should stand up against the imperialists who oppress workers everywhere.
