Vegas Hotel Workers Win Their Battle With Donald Trump

[Lakhota]

His workers in Vegas won a four-year-contract, and his workers in Washington, D.C., may follow suit.

WASHINGTON ― The hotel workers who fought President-elect Donald Trump in Las Vegas for the past two years emerged with a union contract on Wednesday, in a victory that helps open the door for their colleagues at Trump’s new hotel in Washington, D.C., to unionize as well.

According to the union, Unite Here, the Trump International Las Vegas agreed to a four-year deal that brings to a close an ugly fight in which federal officials accused Trump’s team of union-busting. Without releasing details, the union said the contract includes annual pay raises, pension contributions and family health care for the hundreds of housekeepers and food service workers at the Vegas site.

He has a history of not paying at all - unless forced to.

Happens all the time in construction. You lefties demonstrate daily a total lack of understanding of business fundamentals.

yeah, backwards probably...why do you think the details were not released?...it's a typical liberal cliche tactic, lose, declare victory, and part the battlefield.

I never see evidence of that, just the charge. Contractors, subs and even suppliers can put liens on the property, often it's written in the contract. Certainly any decent sized company is aware of how it works and I don't think 1 or 2 man crews were working on Trump's buildings.

As far as the "victory" unions have run many businesses under or off shores. When they demand more than they are worth something has to give.

Construction contracts primer 101:

Contractor ABC contracts to construct building for customer XYZ. Building is complete but fails fire inspection due to construction flaws. XYZ withholds payment to ABC.

Guess what? ABC's employees still get paid.

Hope this helps.

I agree nowadays unions are more likely to ask for too much but there was a time employers were screwing the workers and thats why you have them now Owned a business with union help Hated the crooks at union hall

In this case we can be more than sure they were not demanding more than they were worth. Might as well pay them.

who woulda thunk signing a contract was a win against Trump. I guess a victory imagined or puny at best counts these days for those who lost so badly.
