In a statement, the Culinary Union said the protest Sunday “consisted of managers and supervisors on their day off” and called it “phony:"

"Here, it seems that Station Casinos is simply trying to bring public attention to the wide-ranging allegations of legal misconduct it faces. In our nearly nine decades of organizing, the Culinary Union has never seen company managers or supervisors picket - especially on their day off when it is 99 degrees outside. We hope that they stay hydrated and cool today.”
