The Culinary Union, however, celebrated the 9th Circuit determination.

“Just like Judge Navarro before it, the 9th Circuit saw Station Casinos’ grant of benefits right before the election at Red Rock for what it was — a poorly disguised effort to take away union power and to discourage workers from unionizing. This is another victory for workers who stood up and organized to have a union at Red Rock Casino,” declared Culinary Union Secretary-Treasurer Geoconda Argüello-Kline.
