In a statement responding to the lawsuit, Culinary Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge said executives, including the Fertittas, are expected to testify in the ongoing NLRB proceedings.

“Across the country, corporate tactics aimed at weakening worker rights and protections are being exposed and dismantled, as most courts have seen through these meritless arguments and rightly rejected them,” Pappageorge said in a statement. “We expect the same outcome in Station Casinos’ baseless lawsuit.”

Culinary officials said changes to administrative law hearings could have consequences for labor.

“In today’s lawsuit, Station Casinos argues that the President of the United States should be able to fire NLRB Board Members and NLRB administrative law judges at the President’s discretion and without cause, giving the President power to appoint people who will carry out their agenda,” Pappageorge said. “The ramifications of such an extreme argument by Station Casinos are unprecedented and dangerous, and we adamantly reject them.”
