Culinary Union members in Las Vegas are taking advantage of Tuesday's Nevada Republican caucus and the attention it brings to the state to stage a protest outside of Trump Hotel Las Vegas.

Demonstrators are circling the hotel, carrying signs reading "No contract, no peace," and shouting, "What do we want? A contract! When do we want it? Now!" The union represents 57,000 people, mostly casino workers, and is trying to represent employees of Trump's hotel. The staff recently unionized, the Los Angeles Times reports, but an agreement hasn't been reached yet with Trump. The union has yet to endorse any candidates in the 2016 presidential race, and Trump is the favorite to win tonight's caucus. Catherine Garcia
