Add the Las Vegas Culinary Union to the list of those less than overjoyed<\/a> by the Oakland Athletics\u2019 apparently imminent relocation. That\u2019s because the union claims it\u2019s been actively negotiating for a neutrality agreement with the ball club for more than a year with no luck.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Culinary Local 226 and Bartenders Local 165 secretary\/treasurer Ted Pappageorge e-mailed Casino.org,<\/em> stating that the union \u201cdoes not have an agreement with the A\u2019s for card check neutrality.\u201d This means that the company has not yet agreed to be neutral as workers, who will be employed at the proposed stadium, choose whether or not to unionize.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is concerning, especially since every baseball player on the Oakland Athletics\u2019 roster is protected by a union contract,\u201d Pappageorge wrote. \u201cHospitality workers serving customers and players at any future stadium, should also be protected and have a choice on whether to be union.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Culinary Union has represented Las Vegas\u2019 hospitality workers for 88 years. These include guest room attendants, cocktail and food servers, porters, bellmen, cooks, bartenders, and laundry and kitchen workers.<\/p>\n

According to Pappageorge, Culinary has also been in touch with the Clark County Commission and the Nevada Legislature about neutrality. He stated the topic is especially important if public funds come into play in the stadium\u2019s $1.5 billion price tag.<\/p>\n

A Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em> report published Friday stated that the A\u2019s seek $500 million in public assistance to build their stadium. The A\u2019s and their partner, Red Rock Resorts, would contribute $1 billion of their own. The stadium is planned for Red Rock\u2019s 49-acre Wild West site, just west of the Las Vegas Strip and north of Allegiant Stadium.<\/p>\n

The public money would be generated by creating a special tax district around the site, the R-J<\/em> reported. That district would apply sales, property, live entertainment, and modified business taxes directly to the project. The money would be paid back in numerous ways, according to the report, including via the issuance of 30-year bonds. If public taxes are approved, the A\u2019s would also be required to sign a 30-year non-relocation agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage all stakeholders to continue to perform the necessary due diligence to ensure the interests of Nevadans are protected,\u201d Pappageorge\u2019s email continued. \u201cCulinary Union will advocate to ensure that any proposed stadium is built by the local building trade unions, operated with good union jobs, and that any taxpayer funds \u2014 which are needed for community benefits, public services, and education are protected and all proposals thoroughly vetted.\u201d<\/p>\n
