The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut will face a union vote at its casino after failing to appeal a National Labor Relations Board ruling.
The tribe said it would challenge a decision to allow an election among bartenders, beverage servers and related workers at Foxwoods Resort Casino. But the NLRB scheduled a July 31 vote after the deadline passed without an appeal. The United Food and Commercial Workers wants to represent about 360 employees at the casino.
