The hotel and casino workers’ union rallied in Elk Grove, Tuesday, in an attempt to galvanize support for a contentious organizing campaign at the nearby Sky River Casino.
The organizing effort has escalated into a prolonged legal dispute between the union, Unite Here Local 49, and the Wilton Rancheria, which opened Sky River in 2022. More than 100 casino workers and union allies gathered at Old Town Plaza in Elk Grove Tuesday evening, and called on Sky River to recognize the union as its workers’ representative. During the rally, a group of union organizers and allies delivered worker-signed petitions to the Wilton Rancheria’s offices nearby.
