According to him, the success of the union win will lie in the final contract terms that is agreed upon with the casino.<\/p>\n<p>The Boulder Station casino is the first of the Station\u2019s nine casinos located in the Las Vegas area to unionize. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.culinaryunion226.org\/\">Culinary Local 226 Union<\/a> organizes its unionization on an individual property basis rather than an entire casino group basis. This vote for union representation is the first for Station after <strong>Graton Resort &amp; Casino<\/strong> in Rohnert Park in California, a tribal casino managed by Station voted for a union contract in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting workers in Boulder Station casino were pleased with the outcome. <strong>Maria Portillo<\/strong>, a food runner at Boulder Station stated that the casino was enjoying successful operations as a result of the hard work put in by the workers over the years.
