LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas' powerful Culinary Union has
scored a victory against a holdout casino chain that it has clashed with for
more than a decade.
The labor group says 67 percent of workers at the Boulder
Station casino voted for union representation over the weekend in a secret-ballot
election monitored by the National Labor Relations Board. It's the first of
Station's nine major Las Vegas-area casinos to unionize.
The union's chief says she hopes contract negotiations
will begin as soon as possible between management and more than 570
union-eligible workers at the casino.
Station Casinos President Richard Haskins said the
company is disappointed with the result but will bargain in good faith. Haskins
said the union had vilified the company and waged a "corporate terrorism campaign"
against them ahead of the election.
