In a continuation of its years-long battle to unionize 13,000 employees at Station Casinos, the Culinary Union issued a report on the company's bankruptcy proceedings, accusing insiders of caring more about accumulating personal wealth - as evidenced by the $660 million that went to insiders in the company buyout, and claiming that with more responsible management the Casinos could have avoided bankruptcy entirely. The report theoretically allies the union with the Station Casino creditors, who have expressed similar beliefs. The Culinary Union, given its long history of anti-corporation campaigns and union-as-moral-opposites ideals, is no stranger to "strange bedfellows" however. Casino spokespeople have called the report 'silly,' and 'a waste of time,' and said that is has nothing to do with the union. The Culinary union has countered by saying it is their job to protect all workers.
