The 60,000-strong union of casino and hotel workers was expected to make a presidential endorsement after the Iowa caucus, but Saturday, the union said it will wait until after next week’s New Hampshire primary.
A spokeswoman for the Culinary union said an announcement will come Wednesday morning.
The delay is the result of an apparent internal disagreement between the Culinary and its parent union, UNITE HERE — something the Sun picked up on back in September. In November, with much of the Culinary’s contract talks in the bag, union boss D. Taylor seemed in no particular hurry to speed the endorsement process along.
But in mid-December, with the Iowa caucus weeks away, UNITE HERE announced it would make a single endorsement in early January, likely after Iowa. The announcement raised a series of still-relevant questions that we asked here.
More in tomorrow’s Sun.
