Culinary Union launches “Stations Lurker Watch” about Station Casinos HQ lurkers
Las Vegas, NV – The Culinary Union has launched a new website documenting sightings of Station Casinos headquarter people lurking behind a window, a bush, a sign, a barricade, and more: StationsLurkerWatch.org.
The site contains a crowdsourcing feature, allowing community members who have spotted a Station Casinos executive or company representative lurking to submit a photo or video. The Culinary Union urges anyone who has spotted a Station Casinos lurker to submit a photo or video that might get used on the website.
“It’s awkward when headquarters has people looking down from a window or lurking behind a bush,” said Bethany Khan, spokeswoman for the Culinary Union. “This website is way to hold lurkers accountable.”
Station Casinos parent company, Red Rock Resorts Inc. (NASDAQ: RRR), remains the only publicly-traded Nevada gaming company with an all-white and all-male board. The first purpose of Red Rock Resorts’ Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is the identification, screening, review and recommendation of qualified individuals for the board.
