A U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel has affirmed a lower-court ruling ordering Station Casinos’ Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas to bargain with the Culinary and Bartenders Union.
The decision upheld the order of District Court Judge Gloria Navarro that the casino must deal with the union.
“Just like Judge Navarro before it, the Ninth Circuit saw Station Casinos’ grant of benefits right before the election at Red Rock for what it was—a poorly disguised effort to take away union power and to discourage workers from unionizing,” said the Culinary Union in a statement.
“This is another victory for workers who stood up and organized to have a union at Red Rock Casino. We commend Red Rock Casino workers for their courage and resilience in the face of the massive anti-union campaign that Station Casinos shamefully waged against them.”
