"Culinary Union Members Stage Arrest-Worthy Protest on Las Vegas Strip"

TL;DR
Dozens of Culinary Union members were arrested in an act of "civil disobedience" on the Las Vegas Strip as they seek a new five-year contract. The union members disrupted traffic by sitting in a circle on Las Vegas Boulevard, leading to their arrest by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The union members cooperated cheerfully, but the arrests were meant to send a serious message to the resort hotels. The union is prepared to go on strike if their demands are not met. Negotiations have shown some progress with MGM, but the union still wants more from the resorts.
