Foxwoods Labor Peace Viable Recent labor settlement shows path to a union contract exists. By The Day Published on 3/26/2008
The recent settlement of labor complaints demonstrates that the
Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and unions can resolve differences
without diminishing tribal sovereignty. Thirty-five claims of unfair
labor practices filed against the tribe-owned Foxwoods Resort Casino
were resolved under a settlement agreement between the casino, United
Auto Workers and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Casino employees had claimed they were harassed or retaliated against
because of their union-organizing efforts. Table game and poker dealers
voted nearly four months ago to organize as a UAW union. The vote was
decisive — 1,289-852. Efforts by the casino to overturn the vote on
appeal have so far failed. The primary issue for the tribe is
sovereignty. It contends that the National Labor Relations Act does not
apply to the tribe and that tribal labor law must govern any union
organizing. But the recent announcement shows there is a middle ground.
The tribe willingly entered into negotiations that included the NLRB,
while never conceding it was bound by the federal labor act. The tribe
could follow the same path in negotiating a contract with the new UAW
union. In the interest of labor peace, the tribe could voluntarily
negotiate a contract that adheres to the federal labor act, while
taking the position it does not have to do so because of its sovereign
standing.
So far the casino has pursued a strategy typical of many large businesses. It has fought the union at every point in the process, placing the pressure on the union to keep its members unified as the process drags on. But this is not a typical situation. Foxwoods is opening a major expansion and facing increased competition. A frustrated work force that concludes management is stalling could result in morale problems that diminish customer service at this critical time. And if the tribe presses the issue all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court it risks an adverse decision that could erode sovereignty in ways the tribe did not envision. No one wins if this union fight continues to drag on. The recent settlement of the labor complaints suggests that it doesn't have to happen. |

GREAT NEWS!
Bally's Election
is Certified NLRB Rejects Management Objections
The National Labor Relations Board issued a decision
rejecting Bally's management's appeal of our June 2007 union
representation election.That means our Union will be certified and Bally's will be legally obligated to bargain with us! We voted by an overwhelming majority to form our own union as part of the UAW. Bally's management appealed the results of our election as a stalling tactic. It shouldn't have taken this long to get to the bargaining table but we've stood together. Now it's time to negotiate a fair contract! This is an exciting and historic time in Atlantic City. We are part of a change that will provide a powerful and lasting voice for dealers across Atlantic City. Together we have the power to do what we cannot do alone. Through collective bargaining we can achieve what matters to us most -- fairness, respect and security. |
