Station Casinos Harass Union-Supporting Workers; Culinary Workers Union Intervenes
On October 2, 2012, the National Labor Relations Board responded to 82 charges filed by the Culinary Workers Union against Station Casinos, the largest casino operator in Las Vegas. The charges centered around complaints of employee harassment and intimidation based on the employees’ support of unionized labor. For example, workers at Red Rock Resort were forbidden by management to wear buttons reflecting their support of unions. Two Station employees were reportedly terminated because of their participation in pro-union activities, while a third employee lost hours for the same reason.
Station Casinos were commanded by the NLRB to post written notices throughout their facilities stating that their employees are permitted to unionize if they so choose, and that the company will not discriminate against employees who support unionization.
