The “Right to Return” bill was seen as a success for workers in the hospitality industry when it passed through the Nevada Legislature. It has given hope to many casino workers laid off during the pandemic that are waiting to be rehired.

However, a letter to Station Casinos employees put a damper on the excitement for some former employees. In the letter, the major casino company said “… after July 1, we will not be filling jobs we normally would due to this very wrong law, which punishes us for trying to bring team members back to work.”

The company told employees certain parts of the law are so confusing they won’t be able to figure out the right order to rehire.
