Two unions compete for Pequot casino employees
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
Two labor unions are competing to represent employees at the casino owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut.
The
United Auto Workers
and the
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
want to organize among slot machine technicians at the
Foxwoods Resort Casino
. Both filed petitions with the
National Labor Relations Board
to hold a union election.
The dispute could delay an NLRB hearing on the petitions. Both unions belong to the AFL-CIO, which could step in and resolve the issue.
In related news, the tribe reported an $8.3 million decrease in slot machine revenue from March 2007 to March 2008.
