In a ruling issued on Sept. 30, the National Labor Relations Board has ordered Foxwoods Resort Casino, owned by the Mashantucket Pequot in Connecticut, to bargain with the United Auto Workers union for its dealers and assistant floor supervisors.
The NLRB had rejected Foxwoods’ argument that it is exempt from NLRB jurisdiction because it is a sovereign nation. It found that by failing and refusing to recognize and bargain with UAW as the exclusive collective-bargaining representative of the employees, the casino-resort has engaged in unfair labor practices, specifically violating Section 8(a)(5) and (1) and Section 2(6) and (7) of the National Labor Relations Act.
