Sanders was referring to the long-standing bad blood between Nevada’s third-largest employer, Station Casinos, and the Culinary Workers Union (CWU) — and specifically, the ongoing stand-off between the union and Station’s Palms Resort and Casino.
Workers at the Palms voted 84 percent to unionize in April 2018. But Station Casinos parent Red Rock Resorts challenged the vote, adopting what the union called “time-consuming, expansive litigation via a multi-stage appeal process through the [National Labor Relations Board] NLRB and the courts.”
