As they do at practically every Nevada gaming regulatory meeting, representatives of Culinary Union Workers Local 226 offered a few minutes of remarks during the public comment session at last week’s Nevada Gaming Commission meeting in Las Vegas.

The target, however, wasn’t the union’s usual focus — Red Rock Resorts and its Station Casinos operating division.

Instead, Culinary representative Rory Kuykendall focused on a Swedish company set to buy Galaxy Gaming, a small Las Vegas-based table game provider that doesn’t have any relationship with the union.

In a statement Friday, Culinary Union Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge said the labor organization wanted to bring a dispute involving the Swedish company to the attention of Nevada gaming commissioners, who will ultimately have to approve the sale.
