HARTFORD, Conn. - The National Labor Relations Board has scheduled a hearing into complaints by the Mashantucket Pequots over last month's union election at Foxwoods Resort Casino.

Table game dealers at the casino voted 1,289-to-852 to organize under the United Auto Workers.

The tribe has accused the union of interfering with the Nov. 24 election and claims the ballots were not multilingual. The union has denied the accusations.

Foxwoods initially lodged 12 objections after the vote, but the NLRB has dismissed two of them, calling the tribe's sovereignty complaints "without merit."
