Leadership and the rank-and-file are often not on the same page. That's true when it comes to political parties, too.

From the NYTimes live blog:
"The Culinary Union threw its weight around in the weeks leading up to the caucuses. With 60,000 members, its the states largest and most powerful union.
Culinary Union leadership urged members to vote for anyone other than Sanders because of his Medicare for all plan, including in texts this morning.
Many rank-and-file members of the Culinary Union voted for Sanders anyway. It looks like Sanders did well at caucuses for casino workers on the Strip. "

I think people do what they want.
