The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan continues to oppose the application of federal labor law on the reservation.
Two prior union efforts at the Soaring Eagle Casino
and Resort have failed. A third effort is emerging and the tribe is objecting on legal grounds.
"Indian tribes are not covered by the National Labor Relations Act," attorney Sean Reed told The Mt. Pleasant Morning Sun.
The National Labor Relations Board overturned decades of precedent when it ruled in June 2004 that the National Labor Relations Act applies to tribal enterprises that employ non-Indians or affect non-Indians.
