Union vs. Union

It's not every day we get to see one union attacking another. But that's exactly what is happening in Nevada where the state teacher's union has filed a lawsuit to make it more difficult for members of the Culinary Workers Union to participate in the Jan. 19 Democratic caucus. According to the AP report:

The suit claims that party rules making it easier for Las Vegas Strip shift workers to attend the precinct meetings violate Nevada law and federal equal protection guarantees.

As it turns out, the Nevada Education Association is backing Hillary Clinton but the Culinary Workers Union recently endorsed Barack Obama. Naturally.

I thought teachers were supposed to encourage people to participate in the political process, not to suppress it. This union on union hostility seems highly unusual and it shows just how far the Clintons will go to win.
