Striking Culinary Workers Picket Las Vegas Hotel

LAS VEGAS — Pickets jammed sidewalks Monday outside the Frontier Hotel, jeering tourists who tried to enter the Strip resort on the third day of a strike by culinary workers and bartenders.
Striking workers stayed off hotel property, where 27 picketers and a newspaper photographer were arrested on trespassing charges a day earlier.
Union leaders planned to ask a court to allow pickets onto hotel property, said Jim Arnold, secretary-treasurer of Culinary Union Local 226.
During Sunday’s arrests, members of several unions chanted, drowning out police officers trying to read picketers their rights.
The strike began Saturday after a breakdown in bargaining over a new contract. Picketers arrested Sunday were cited and released.
