    NO GAMBLE FOR WORKERS--Like all Native American tribes, the
    Menominee Indian Nation is exempt from the National Labor
    Relations Act for commercial enterprises on its land. But in
    Kenosha, Wis., the Menominee Nation and a coalition of
    unions convened by AFSCME District Council 40 signed an
    historic agreement earlier this month that will allow
    workers at its proposed Paradise Key Casino in Kenosha to
    organize and bargain collectively. The agreement also
    expands the rights of the casino employees beyond what is
    required under state and federal labor laws. Earlier, the
    Menominee Nation signed a project labor agreement with the
    Southwestern Wisconsin Building and Construction Trades
    Council.
