LOUISVILLE, Ky. — About 50 union workers and supporters stood in the rain outside Churchill Downs Saturday afternoon, demanding the racetrack agree to a fair contract with its valets as it heads into Kentucky Derby Week. Members of SEIU Local 541, the racetrack employees union, say the track's valets have been working without a union contract since November after the previous five-year agreement expired. A statement from the group said the situation "could result in major disruptions during Kentucky Derby Week." David O'Brien Suetholz, union attorney, said Churchill Downs canceled negotiations Thursday after the valets unanimously rejected their last best offer.  "This is a corporation that just take, takes, takes, and we're asking — for members of our community who are essential to the races — we're asking for just a semblance of justice in their contract," he said.
