Nevada is the first state with a diverse electorate to vote in the 2020 Democratic campaign. It's also the first state where labor unions will play a decisive role in the outcome. NevadaCaucus hereandnow
Saturday’s caucuses in Nevada will mark a turning point in the presidential race.
Mario Sandoval has worked at Binions Steakhouse for 35 years and has been a union member since he was 16 years old. That’s why he favors moderate candidates like Steyer over those who support “Medicare for All” such as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But the process of nominating a Democrat who can make her dream come true has proven difficult. Last week, Culinary sent a candidate scorecard to its members that said front-runner Sanders' “Medicare for All” plan would jeopardize and replace the union's health coverage.The union’s health care plan is widely considered the best in Nevada — which explains why Sandoval and his fellow members want to protect it. There's even a health clinic just for members.
But how did a union of immigrant cooks, bartenders and kitchen workers develop enough power to become a major talking point in a presidential contest? Garcia has followed labor's social and legal impact on Nevada for years. Culinary is more than 85 years old with a long history of building a strong labor movement behind it, he says.
API is the fastest-growing ethnic group in Nevada which now makes up about 10% of the population. Vergara-Mactal says this group makes up 70% of SEIU’s hospital workers.
