In a statement, Culinary Union spokeswoman Bethany Khan said that the union had always maintained that Station Casinos had interfered with workers’ right to a fair union election under federal law, and that the labor board would find the company’s tactics to be illegal.

“Station Casinos shamefully keeps trying to delay and drag things out in court rather than do the right thing, keep their word, (the company has said many times that they would respect an NLRB union election), and negotiate a contract,” she added.
