The continuing drop in the Dow Industrial average suggests that capitalism as we know it has come to an end and the Nevada Supreme Court has gotten the message, upholding the right for Wynn casino to force tip sharing on its dealers.Wynn Las Vegas dealers will have to share their tips with their front-line supervisors, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled today.
The court ruled that a District Court judge was right when he dismissed the dealers’ challenge of a ruling by the Labor Commissioner that said Wynn didn't violate employment law by changing its policy on tip sharing, since the workers are employed at-will.
The court ruled unanimously that the state law that deals with the issue of tip sharing calls for the Labor Commissioner to decide whether the employees’ challenge was valid, not the District Court.
The court also ruled that, under Nevada labor law, the employees didn’t have a valid employment contract and therefore weren’t entitled to claim Wynn Resorts had breached their contract.
Ok, so its not actually socialism. In fact, it sounds more like highway robbery. They have to share tips with their supervisors?!? I can't wait for the partners at my firm to require us paralegals to share annual bonuses with our supervising attorneys. Won't that be sweet.
