Former UFC owners Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta are once again facing accusations of unfair labor practices stemming from their Las Vegas casino business.
According to The Daily Beast, the Fertitta brothers have been ordered to appear before a National Labor Relations Board judge and testify about allegations that their gaming business, Station Casinos, tried to “undercut labor organizing efforts.” The subpoena is part of an administrative trial currently underway before the NLRB.
In July 2021, US District Judge Gloria Navarro issued a ruling ordering Station Casinos to recognize the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165, and to begin negotiating a contract with approximately 1,350 culinary workers following a contested 2019 union vote at Red Rock Resorts, which is owned and operated by Station Casinos.
