Perhaps it's just me, but I can't see how this regional chapter of a trade union is sufficiently independently notable to satisfy the requirements of our revised criteria for companies and organisations. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:00, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This union has a unique ongoing place in Nevada history, as substantiated in (inter alia) the New York Times article, and exemplified by their ability to get one of their own leaders appointed to the state legislature. Now I admit I'm a labor activist (AFSCME) and labor historian myself, but it seems to me we need more coverage of organizations like this, not less. --Orange Mike | Talk 23:10, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Looks like there is plenty of "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" to meet WP:ORGCRITE (WP:BEFORE?). Eg, in Storming Caesars Palace: How Black Mothers Fought Their Own War on Poverty (2005), [1] especially pp 54-55 and 67-68; an article 'Grievance and Arbitration Trends within the Culinary Workers Union, Local 226', in Labor Studies Journal (1993) (referenced in Vegas at Odds: Labor Conflict in a Leisure Economy, 1960–1985, result 1 [2]); Strategic integration, contract administration, and comprehensive contract campaign effectiveness: a case study of the culinary workers union, here local 226'S 2002 comprehensive contract campaign (2006) [3], especially chapter V, 'Culinary Workers Union Local 226 - History and Context'; also 5 pages in this book, Makeup, identity performance & discrimination (2007) [4], although not all can be seen online as it's snippet views; African American Women Confront the West, 1600-2000, pp 276-277,282, 284, 287 [5]; Casino Women: Courage in Unexpected Places, (2011), especially Chapter 1 [6]; and there is a lot of newspaper coverage too.

Keeps Largest union in Las Vegas, which has a more than considerable hospitality industry and was in the news considerably the last three years for state and national elections and union-focused stories. This is like nominating the UAW article because it serves a niche industry of automobile manufacturing. Nate • (chatter) 02:02, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep evidence of significant independent coverage (as noted by Rebbecca) --DannyS712 (talk) 00:29, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep article can be expanded, sure, but it clearly passes WP:NORG. SportingFlyer talk 01:59, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
