 June 21, 2024 | WORKERS’ RIGHTS | The National Labor Relations Board has ordered a Las Vegas casino operator to recognize and bargain with a union, in the first ruling of its kind by the agency since it created a path for unions to organize workers even after losing elections. The board in a decision issued on Monday said NP Red Rock, which owns the Red Rock Casino and two others, had engaged in "egregious and pervasive unlawful conduct" that tainted a 2019 election and warranted a bargaining order even though workers voted 627-534 against joining a union. It was the first time the five-member board applied its 2023 decision involving building supply company Cemex Construction Materials that resurrected key elements of a policy it eliminated more than 50 years ago requiring businesses that commit labor law violations to bargain with unions without holding formal elections, one of the most reviled board rulings among business groups and Republicans in recent years.
