The complaint marks another development in a long-running dispute between Station Casinos and the Culinary union. The complaint alleges the companies “engaged in a scheme to use layoffs during the COVID-19 pandemic to undermine unions representing or seeking to represent their employees,” a release said. NLRB Regional Director Cornele Overstreet, whose area includes Las Vegas, issued a 92-page complaint against Red Rock Resorts Inc., Station Holdco LLC, Station Casinos LLC and 10 of their Las Vegas casinos.
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.”
