US top court won't consider labor board power over Indian casinos

By Robert Iafolla
WASHINGTON, Jun 27 (Reuters) The US Supreme Court today declined to wade into a legal battle pitting Native American tribal sovereignty against the federal government's power to regulate labor relations in cases involving casinos on Indian land in Michigan.In deciding to stay out of that fight, the court let stand a pair of federal appeals court rulings that gave the US National Labor Relations Board authority over casinos on Indian land.
Those rulings boosted unions' ability to organize workers in the tribal casino industry, which generated 28.5 billion dollars in gaming revenue in 2014, the most recent year for which figures were available, according to the National Indian Gaming Commission.With the Supreme Court declining to take up the issue, the Republican-led Congress stands as the tribes' best hope of avoiding NLRB jurisdiction.
