Station Casinos files lawsuit against National Labor Relations Board
The company claims the board lacks authority to prosecute claims against similar businesses.
Key Points
- Station Casinos seeks to give employees the right to choose if they want a union
- The suit follows a series of recent hearings regarding an April 2021 complaints
Station Casinos recently filed a lawsuit against the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), according to a local news report in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The operator filed to challenge the board’s proceedings in the US District Court in Nevada. The lawsuit seeks to halt “several union-busting allegations in litigation by alleging the federal agency lacks the authority to prosecute claims against businesses like them.”
Stations Casinos commented on the ongoing suit in an official release, “Station Casinos has taken the extraordinary step of suing the NLRB because the NLRB system has failed it and many other companies and, more importantly, threatens to deprive Station Casinos’ team members of their right to choose whether to be represented by a union or not.”
The NLRB recently conducted hearings involving a complaint filed in April 2021. The company alleges that Station Casinos’ parent company, Red Rock Resorts, “used the COVID-19 pandemic layoffs to undermine Culinary Local 226 union-affiliated workers and union representation in the company.”
Culinary Union 226 Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge told local news that the lawsuit was “baseless.”
He further commented in a statement, “Across the country, corporate tactics aimed at weakening worker rights and protections are being exposed and dismantled, as most courts have seen through these meritless arguments and rightly rejected them.
“We expect the same outcome in Station Casinos’ baseless lawsuit.”
Station Casinos recently unveiled plans to expand its Durango property. The company wants to add a new parking garage, as well as build a new casino area on its existing property.
The garage addition would be located north of Maule Avenue in the southeast section of the current parking lot. The new structure would bring with it nearly 2,500 parking spaces and would include a basement level, along with a ground level, five additional floors and rooftop parking.
