In a reply brief filed Saturday, the NLRB said NP Red Rock LLC, which operates as Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa, distorted the evidence when urging the court not to issue an order that would force it to bargain with the the joint bargaining agent for Culinary Workers Local 226 and Bartenders Local 165 due to alleged violations of labor law in the run-up to a union election.

Far from ignoring the will of workers who voted against the election as the casino had argued, the board said the order to bargain is necessary because the company's promise of a more generous package irreparably tainted the election.
