CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) filed today a lawsuit under the federal and state Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Statutes (RICO) against the labor unions UNITE HERE, International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Change to Win, alleging extortion related to the unions’ continued attacks that are part of a nationwide organizing drive that is now entering its sixth year. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and consolidates a related defamation lawsuit that Cintas filed in 2004 and which was proceeding in an Ohio state court.

With negotiations stalled, nurses will vote in the next few days on whether to authorize their union to call a third - and perhaps longest - strike against 11 Bay Area hospitals affiliated with Sutter Health.
No date has been set, but a walkout would probably not occur until mid-March or later.
The strike's length also has not been determined. The nearly 5,000 registered nurses represented by the California Nurses Association/ National Nurses Organizing Committee are voting on authorizing a labor action of up to 10 days.

Dealers at Argosy Casino Hotel & Spa in Riverside voted Saturday against joining a union.
The dealers voted 113-68 against the measure, said Rick Klingenberg, vice president of United Auto Workers Local 710. He said that the election turnout was strong, with 181 of 188 eligible voters coming out to vote, but he was disappointed by the results.
“But the people spoke. They made their decision,” he said. “I live with it. … I really thought it was going to be closer, but that’s just the way the games go.”
