Indy Gaming: Why Culinary is focused on a Swedish gaming equipment company

As they do at practically every Nevada gaming regulatory meeting, representatives of Culinary Union Workers Local 226 offered a few minutes of remarks during the public comment session at last week’s Nevada Gaming Commission meeting in Las Vegas.

...

In a statement Friday, Culinary Union Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge said the labor organization wanted to bring a dispute involving the Swedish company to the attention of Nevada gaming commissioners, who will ultimately have to approve the sale.

...

Pappageorge requested the gaming commission reject Evolution’s license application in Nevada if the company “continues to refuse to treat its employees with respect and provide for decent wages and safe working conditions.”

...

“The Culinary Union offers solidarity to the Evolution workers in Georgia and asks the Nevada Gaming Commission to take into consideration the labor practices of this company,” Pappageorge said in a statement.
