The issue of labor relations in Indian Country can be a thorny one. As sovereign nations, tribes have the right to set their own labor rules, but sometimes employees have a different idea.

At G2E 2009′s “Tribal Labor Relations: Sovereignty or Solutions” session, you’ll hear both from tribes with existing employee contracts and those considering them about how they can retain their sovereignty while satisfying the labor requests of their employees. The possible impact of the “Employee Free Choice Act” on tribal casinos, also known as the card-check bill, also will be discussed.

In this podcast episode, we are joined by Jason Giles, Deputy Director and General Counsel for the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA). Giles gives us a broad overview of the labor relations issue, and invites us to attend a few G2E sessions that relate to tribal gaming issues.
