Casino Pauma v. NLRB

The Ninth Circuit granted the Board's petition for enforcement and denied Casino Pauma's petition for review. The panel upheld the Board's conclusion that it may apply the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to the relationship between employees working in commercial gaming establishments on tribal lands and the tribal governments that own and manage the establishments, and that Casino Pauma committed unfair labor practices in violation of the NLRA by trying to stop union literature distribution. The panel also held that the Board permissibly applied the rule regarding employee solicitation established in Republic Aviation Corp. v. NLRB, 324 U.S. 793, 798 (1945), to customer-directed union literature distribution. In this case, the Board's conclusion that Casino Pauma violated its employees' NLRA right to distribute union literature was adequately supported, both by the applicable legal principles and the record.
