Two Plus Two Newer Archives - Tribe To File Objection To Union Vote

Three days after Foxwoods Resort Casino table-game dealers voted to approve representation by the United Auto Workers union, their employer made it clear that it won't back down from a legal fight over a decision it believes challenges its sovereignty.

Late Monday, the Mashantucket Pequot tribe confirmed that its next move would be an objection to the election for representation by the UAW. The tribe intends to file the complaint at week's end, following the union vote conducted by the National Labor Relations Board.

“We will be filing our objections with the NLRB by Friday,” tribal spokesman Bruce MacDonald said. “I can't say anything else about it.”

The official deadline for filing objections is Monday, according to John Cotter, assistant regional director for the NLRB in Hartford.
