Strange bedfellow

Animus by casino dealers toward tip-confiscation by Steve Wynn is causing them to embrace this piece of work …

Yeah, that’s a serious ad, not comedy skit. Travis Barrick likes to give the impression that he’d have busted that mean old Wynn in the chops, more or less: “Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez] Masto stood by (or even helped) when Steve Wynn got away with stealing the tips of the dealers in his casinos.” I’m not sure what the “or even helped” part means, other than that Barrick is being deliberately vague. Nobody with whom I’ve discussed the Wynn controversy — not even former state Sen. Donald Mello, who wrote the law Wynn flouted — has suggested that a crackdown by the attorney general’s office was in order. Sadly, one of the side-effects of union organizers’ losing fight with Wynn Resorts is that they’ve become so embittered as to start hanging out with the lunatic fringe.
