“These are bedrock principles that are fairly straightforward,” Garcia said. The panels’ ruling cited several “bedrock precedents” from the Supreme Court and 9th Circuit, and Garcia said the Red Rock Resorts case “is very typical.”

Supreme Court, but UNLV labor law professor Ruben Garcia said it “seems unlikely” that this case would rise to those levels. The company could still appeal the ruling, either to the full 9th Circuit or to the U.S. Red Rock Resorts, Station Casinos’ parent company, did not respond to a requests for comment Monday. This is another victory for workers who stood up and organized to have a union at Red Rock Casino,” Geoconda Argüello-Kline, secretary-treasurer for the Culinary union, said in a statement. “Just like Judge Navarro before it, the Ninth Circuit saw Station Casinos’ grant of benefits right before the election at Red Rock for what it was - a poorly disguised effort to take away union power and to discourage workers from unionizing. The Culinary union on Monday applauded the ruling. “Here, new employee benefits were announced just days before the union election, and there was extensive evidence that those benefits were designed to discourage union support,” the judges’ ruling said. In the ruling, the appeals court judges said the lower court was not wrong in determining that the granting of those benefits “was likely an unlawful labor practice” and that the offer likely changed how employees voted over fears of losing the newly announced benefits. The case stems from a complaint filed by the prosecuting arm of the National Labor Relations Board that accused Station Casinos, which operates Red Rock Resort and several other local-oriented casinos in Southern Nevada, of using an offer of enhanced employee benefits to try to sway support away from the union in the run-up to a December 2019 union election at Red Rock Resort.
