Nevada has seen an increase in union membership in part because of the success of the Culinary Workers Union, which organized housekeepers and kitchen workers and now represents 55,000 workers. As a result, many of the people working in the state's many hotels and casinos make well above minimum wage, and the Culinary Union wields considerable power on and off the strip.
