The United Auto Workers union is collecting signatures in hopes of persuading the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut to come to the bargaining table.
The union won the right to organize at the Foxwoods Resort Casino. But the tribe says federal labor law doesn't apply on the reservation.
The tribe is headed to federal court to fight the National Labor Relations Board on the sovereignty issue. In the meantime, the tribe says the union is welcome to organize under tribal law.
