A. This chapter shall apply only if the Tribe employs two hundred fifty (250) or more persons in a tribal casino and related facility. For purposes of this chapter, a “tribal casino” is one in which Class III gaming is conducted pursuant to the tribal-state compact. A “related facility” is one for which the only significant purpose is to facilitate patronage of the Class III gaming operations.

B. Upon the request of a labor union or organization which exists for the purpose, in whole or in part, of dealing with employers concerning grievances, labor disputes, wages, rates of pay, hours of employment, or conditions of work, the Tribal Gaming Commission shall certify the number of employees in a tribal casino or other related facility as defined in subsection (A) of this section. Either party may dispute the certification of the Tribal Gaming Commission to the Tribal Labor Panel, which is defined in Section 3-213. (Res. 2019-23)
