Doug, would you please just stop this bullshit? You know damn well that that's not what Nathan is saying. He was simply giving a history of how the Culinary Workers union was formed in Las Vegas. Everyone knows that HERE had a history of mob involvement. Under Wilhelm (who basically put together the strategy to revive union power in Las Vegas) they have rooted out most of that legacy and are a dynamic organizing union, especially among immigrant workers.
