(June 27, 2005)<\/strong> \u2013 National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation attorneys filed unfair labor practice charges at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against a local Fresno casino for stifling the free speech of workers opposing unionization.  James Terrazas\u2019 charges, filed in recent days for similarly situated employees, come in the midst of an employee-initiated decertification campaign to strip the Unite-Here union of its monopoly bargaining privileges at Chukchansi Gold Resort and Casino (Chukchansi Gold). The charges point out that the employer established several work rules in violation of federal labor law. Additionally, casino management enforced some of these rules discriminatorily\u2014targeting only those employees favoring decertification of the union. \u201cChukchansi Gold is doing the bidding of the Unite-Here union hierarchy by stifling employee dissent,\u201d said Foundation Vice President <a href=\"mailto:shg@nrtw.org\">Stefan Gleason<\/a>. \u201cEmployees should be allowed to exercise their freedom of speech\u2014whether or not the union brass like what they hear.\u201d Chukchansi Gold originally recognized the Unite-Here union as the monopoly bargaining agent of 700-800 employees in November of 2004, as the result of a controversial \u201ccard-check\u201d system in which union organizers bypass the less-abusive secret ballot election process and instead browbeat and mislead workers into signing cards that are counted as \u201cvotes\u201d for unionization.  This coercive \u201ccard-check\u201d campaign arose from legally suspect gaming compacts Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law last August. The compacts included a requirement forcing the affected casinos to enter into so-called \u201cneutrality agreements\u201d with local union officials. Under these coercive \u201cneutrality agreements\u201d union organizers are given full access to company facilities and employees\u2019 personal information (including home addresses) as they seek signatures on union authorization cards. In a related action, Foundation attorneys have asked the Department of Interior not to approve the California gaming compacts because they unlawfully deny employers their right to ensure that employees get a secret ballot election when choosing whether to unionize.  The Regional Director of the NLRB will now investigate Terrazas\u2019 charges, and determine whether to issue a formal complaint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresno, Calif.
