In a statement, the Culinary Union again called on Station Casinos to immediately begin bargaining with the union.

“Station Casinos is defying federal law as it continues to refuse to negotiate in good faith,” the union’s secretary-treasurer Geoconda Arguello-Kline said in a statement. “Any unilateral changes pertaining to workers and their workplace conditions are illegal at the Palms and Green Valley Ranch unless explicitly bargained with the Culinary and Bartenders Unions.”
