The union effort to turn out voters appeared to be going strong in Nevada as the Nov. 6 election neared.

At the Local 226 of the Culinary Workers Union, most of the 200 people working the election were in the field Monday, knocking on doors, talking to voters and leaving behind door hangers with specifics about where to vote. The CWU, with 55,000 members — housekeepers, porters, bartenders, food service workers, cocktail waitresses — was the first major national union to publicly endorse President Obama in the 2008 election.

Monday marked one of the last laps in a three-month push. Workers have knocked on 150,000 doors, organizers said.
