Union leader say many workers at Trump Taj Mahal have seen only 80 cents in raises in the last dozen years, while the cost of living in Atlantic City has risen 25 percent in the same span. Housekeepers and other employees make an average of less than $12 per hour, they say. Trump effectively left the Atlantic City casino industry nearly a decade ago, though his name lives on (Trump Plaza closed in 2014, and Trump Castle became Trump Marina in 1997 and then Golden Nugget in 2011). The casino union put out this statement today: "As the principle creditor between 2010 and 2014, Icahn extracted $350 million from the property, driving it into bankruptcy and then swooping in to take control. He used the bankruptcy proceeding to strip Taj Mahal workers of health benefits, retirement security and even paid breaks. Overall, he cut worker compensation in wages and benefits by 35%. Without health benefits, half of workers at the Trump Taj Mahal rely on taxpayer subsidized health insurance.
