The National Labor Relations Board this week accused Station Casinos of unlawfully using the pandemic to undermine unions and influence employees to push for decertification.

On Thursday, the Las Vegas-based company released a statement rejecting the allegations as “biased and unfair.” The Culinary union called the complaint “massive and unprecedented,” and referred to Station Casinos’ alleged actions as a “shameful scheme.”

Union weighs in

Culinary Local 226 spokeswoman Bethany Khan said many fired workers had to reapply and compete with other workers for their old jobs.

“The NLRB complaint is massive and unprecedented,” she said in a statement. “Station Casinos had a shameful scheme to use the COVID-19 pandemic to rid the casino of union leaders and union support in the workplace. Because of the outrageous behavior of Station Casinos, the NLRB remedy is for the company to negotiate with the Culinary Union for all 10 hotel and casinos in Las Vegas and we look forward to that.”

She added, “If Station Casinos refuses to negotiate, they will face more severe legal consequences.”
