Nice article in BBC news, about the booming Las Vegas economy, and the very positive role that unions play here.
Quoting:
It's been the fastest growing city in America for 30 years: the population doubles about every decade. ...
But there's something much more surprising about Vegas.
It's one of the few places where most of the workers that count are members of a union. ...
In a country where 8% of private sector workers are in a union, around 70% of restaurant and hotel workers in Las Vegas work on a union contract, and the share is more than 90% on the all-important Strip.
