A Nevada Supreme Court appeal by two dealers challenging Wynn Las Vegas' tip-pooling policy is quietly winding through the system.
The court said in July it would accept briefs from two former state assemblymen, David Mello and Jack Lund Schofield, and the dealer's new union in support of the dealer's arguments.
The ex-assemblymen said a 1971 state law revision they authored has been misinterpreted by the courts when used in tip-pooling cases. The revision was intended to prevent an employer from taking tips from one group of employees and giving the money to another, they said.
The dealers filed their appeal in May after a judge dismissed the class action lawsuit Dec. 6, saying the dealers are not contract employees and state law allows casinos to change their tip-pooling policies.
