For purposes of this chapter, a “Tribal casino” is one in which class III gaming is conducted pursuant to a Tribal-state compact between the state of California and this Tribe. 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, the Tribal Gaming Agency shall certify the number of employees in the Tribal casino or other related facility as defined in subsection (a) of this section. Either party may dispute the certification of the Tribal Gaming Agency to the Tribal Labor Panel. [Ord. 41 § 1, adopted, 2/19/2015.]
