The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan is accusing a labor union of manipulating employees at the Soaring Eagle Casino
& Resort.
The International Union Security Police
& Fire Professionals of America sought an election to organize security guards at the casino. The union withdrew its request at the last minute -- but not before the tribe was forced to turn over confidential information about employees, tribal leaders said.
"I consider that a manipulation of the National Labor Relations Board process, the tribe and our employees," said tribal council member Michele Stanley told The Mt. Pleasant Morning Sun. "Everyone had to fully expect that they would follow through with an election."
Tribal leaders sad security guards would have voted against the union -- just like housekeeping staff did last November.
