Union confident that Frontier ruling will stand
Thursday, Jan. 29, 1998 | 11:14 a.m.
A Culinary Union official expressed confidence today that a National Labor Relations Board ruling that the Frontier hotel violated federal labor laws will stand on appeal.
"The way they do things is to drag them out, but I feel confident we will win no matter where they take it for appeal," said Jim Arnold, secretary-tresaurer of Local 226.
He said he expects the hotel to file an appeal in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
The NLRB three-person panel ruled last week that the resort should not have stopped paying into the union's pension fund.
The ruling says the Frontier shall "pay to the Southern Nevada Culinary Workers and Bartenders Pension Fund those monies improperly withheld from it beginning in May 1990 and continue such payments with any penalties or late fees the trust normally requries.
"We have maintained from the start their actions were illegal and this is just one more piece of evidence that shows the community that they (the Frontier management) are the reason for this problem, not the workers," Arnold said.
Attempts to reach Frontier General Manager Thomaa Elardi for comment today were not auccessful.
