The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington has ruled that the Spokane Tribe of Indians must comply with a subpoena issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. The subpoena requires the casino to provide information regarding payroll records in order for the DOL to conduct an investigation regarding a complaint by an employee.
In its opinion, the court separates tribal business activities from tribal government activities and finds that, although the law might not apply to tribal government operations, it does apply to business activities.
