Station Casinos on Tuesday filed a constitutional challenge to National Labor Relations Board proceedings, seeking a way to stop several union-busting allegations in litigation by alleging the federal agency lacks the authority to prosecute claims against businesses like them.
The locals casino operator filed a lawsuit against the administrative agency and its leaders in the U.S. District Court in Nevada, records show. The company seeks a temporary and permanent injunction to halt pending proceedings in the nation’s top labor relations court.
“Station Casinos has taken the extraordinary step of suing the NLRB because the NLRB system has failed it and many other companies and, more importantly, threatens to deprive Station Casinos’ team members of their right to choose whether to be represented by a union or not,” the company said in a news release.
