Same issue as Wisconsin -- union-busting. Remember it well. Never did cross
the picket line even though there were some good plays there. Never was a
union person myself but I felt for those employees. (Even when unionized,
the rights of employees in NV are pretty weak. In current climate, employers
are able to cut hrs with justification. So if you've got a lot of
seniority but your casino went through a recent expansion & subsequent increase in
head count without a corresponding increase in business, the usual move in
other locales would be to layoff the newly-hired thus preserving benefits.
But some places have cut back hrs so you have no benefits. If they can get
it to work here, maybe they can export it to other states. Benefit costs
are the fastest-rising cost component, so cutting this out will make
cost-forecasting more predictable & earnings will get a healthy boost. This would
give my stocks quite a boost!)

LVA Question of the Day - 10 MAR 2011
Q: I remember going to Las Vegas a few times years ago and
it seemed there was always a strike going on at the
Frontier. What was it all about and, with the Mob´s ties in
Vegas, why was it allowed to last so long?
