In a contrasting opinion also issued this month, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judges ruled that federal labor law does apply to a casino operated by the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians. The split makes the issue ripe for appeal to the Supreme Court. Congress is also getting in on the act as the Senate is working on legislation (S. 248) designed to protect tribal businesses from the NLRB.
