Union vote set for Saginaw Chippewa casino


The National Labor Relations Board will oversee a union election at the casino owned by the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan.

The election takes place December 20. Teamsters Local 486 wants to organize about 300 housekeeping employees.

This the second NLRB-overseen election at a tribal casino since the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the board's ability to assert jurisdiction at tribal enterprises. Dealers at the casino owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut agreed to a union this past weekend.
