MMA Mania reports that the UFC has established a web site to address the Culinary Union’s consistent attacks against the organization. “The Truth About Culinary 226” aims to expose the Union’s issues on this web site owned and operated by Zuffa.
The web site reveals public waste allegedly caused by 226 and attempts to address the history between Culinary 226 and Zuffa.
Via “The Truth About Culinary 226”:
The Culinary Union has targeted Station Casinos because the company refuses to agree to a “card check” process whereby the Culinary Union may become the representative of its employees without being elected as such through a secret ballot election. Rather than simply following the secret ballot election process that U.S. federal law provides, the Culinary Union’s management has instead waged a dishonest campaign to pressure Station Casinos to capitulate to its demands. As part of that campaign, the Culinary Union has been engaging in harassment tactics that target all of the business interests of the Fertittas, including Station Casinos and the UFC.
Payout Perspective:
Bad PR or Zuffa rightfully going on the offensive? The web site tells the Zuffa side of the story with the constant attacks made by the Culinary Union in light of the continued inability for MMA to become legalized in New York. Zuffa is up front of what it is doing as it states it owns the web site on the front page. I am not clear how the web site will sway public opinion but it cannot hurt its efforts for legalizing MMA in New York if it is truthful about its allegations.
Good idea. With the union putting so much propaganda out there including their own site. It is good for Zuffa to have their side of the story out for people to see and for people to find out what the Union is stooping to to strong arm/ black mail them into doing business against their will.
I wonder how it would go over if the UFC send people to protect every business that uses that union? If the UFC started hurting unrelated business like the Union is doing people would flip out. But I guess like all unions it doesn’t matter how many of the public you screw as long as they keep their members happy while they sick the life from the company. Then they don’t have to answer to anyone so they get by with they shady ethics.
This is pathetic of the UFC to do. Simply pathetic..
It shows desparation.
UFC is gonna get sanctioned in NY! Dana’s mantra for a looooongest time…..
Culinary union are just typical left-wing thugs and Obama-scum. Good for Dana.
Sampson’s right…this is desperation on UFC”s part…pressure the politicians who are siding with the union.seems they’re case against ny is not strong…
