Since 1994 the Culinary and bartenders unions are in a legal battle with the former owners, Paul and Sue Lowden, of the Sahara and Hacienda hotel-casinos in Las Vegas. The final decision is yet to come.
The National Labor Relations Board has been ordered, by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, to reconsider its decision which says that the former hotel-casino owners are allowed to stop collecting union dues from employees when their contract is already expired.
The Las Vegas advocate for Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165, Richard McCracken, affirmed that there are 2 members of 5 missing on the NLRB and the board membership and those are going to stay empty until the new president is elected. So we also have to wait longer for any decision from the federal body.
The subject of the legal action is the Archon Corp., and the Lowdens are still a part of it. The Sahara has a new ownership and the Hacienda Hotel has been demolished and instead of it a new casino has been built.
In 1994 the union’s contract at the Hacienda and Sahara expired, Archon stopped paying the unions. That’s why the unions filed a complaint with the NLRB, which ruled in favour of the casino owners. After 13 years they ruled again in favour of the Lowdens.
In that case, the union appealed again and the circuit court sent it back to the NLRB to reconsider the case and beside of that they are also expected to present a reasoned explanation to support their decision. The problem is that the Lowdens cut off the dues without any agreement over the issue.
McCracken claimed that Archon could give to the 2 unions all the money they didn’t get and even 10 percent interest.
