NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, Respondent, ______________________________ INTERNATIONAL UNION OF OPERATING ENGINEERS LOCAL 501, AFL-CIO, Intervenor. NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, No. 19-70279 NLRB No. 28-CA-225263 Petitioner, v. NP SUNSET LLC, DBA Sunset Station Hotel Casino, Respondent, ______________________________ INTERNATIONAL UNION OF OPERATING ENGINEER LOCAL 501, AFL-CIO, Intervenor. 2 On Petition for Review of an Order of the National Labor Relations Board Argued and Submitted December 3, 2019 San Francisco, California Before: SILER,** CLIFTON, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges. The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 501, AFL- CIO (“Union”) and NP Sunset LLC, DBA Sunset Station Hotel Casino (“Sunset”) each petition for review of a January 7, 2019 Order by the National Labor Relations Board (“Board”). The Board has also filed a cross-application to enforce this Order against Sunset. We deny both petitions for review and grant the Board’s cross-application to enforce its Order. As we have concluded in a case argued together with this one, the Board did not err in determining that the casino slot technicians are not “guards” under 29 U.S.C. § 159(b)(3). Int’l Union of Operating Eng’rs Local 501 v. NLRB, ___ F.3d ___, No. 18-71124 (9th Cir. ________, 2020). In addition, the Board did not abuse its discretion in declining to grant the Union’s request for enhanced remedies. See United Steel Workers of Am. AFLCIO-CLC v. NLRB, 482 F.3d 1112, 1116 (9th Cir. 2007). The Board also did not ** The Honorable Eugene E. Siler, United States Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, sitting by designation. 3 err in failing to provide an explanation for its decision to issue standard remedies. See id. at 1118 (9th Cir. 2007) (“[T]he Board’s decision to order an unextraordinary remedy does not merit an extraordinary explanation.”). Petitions for Review DENIED; Cross-Application to Enforce GRANTED. 4
