Workers strike at Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City

Workers strike at Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City - Jul. 1, 2016

Close to 1,000 workers at the casino went on strike at 6 a.m. ET Friday after it failed to reach a deal with union negotiators, the union UNITE Here said.

'; for (i = $allParagraphs.length-1; i > 0; i--) { if (i > 4) { afterParagraphFour = true; } $currentParagraph = $($allParagraphs[i]); heights += $currentParagraph.height(); if (heights > limit && afterParagraphFour) { console.log($currentParagraph.text()); $currentParagraph.after(smartAssetDiv); heights = -9999; // reset the heights variable $('#smartasset-article').css('float','left'); // allows module to have text float to right $('#smartasset-article').css('margin-right','20px'); $('#smartasset-article').css('margin-bottom','25px'); } } } } SMARTASSET.getModulePositionLimit = function() { /* returns integer position of where we should insert the module 1. if paragraph height is at least 2000, we will insert at middle 2. else we wait for 1000 pixels. */ var positionLimit; var i; var total = 0; $allParagraphs = $('#storytext').find('> p') // makes sure $allparagraphs doesn't include the story-table (only direct children) $('#storytext figure').hide(); for (i = 0; i 2000) { positionLimit = total * 2 / 3; } else if (total

The Trump Taj Mahal is owned by financier Carl Icahn. Despite the name, Donald Trump no longer runs or owns the casino.

The staff walking off the job include cooks, housekeepers, bellmen and servers, the union said.

Icahn Enterprises didn't immediately respond to a request for comment early Friday.

Strikes were averted at four other Atlantic City casinos that had also been facing the threat of walkouts after tentative labor agreements were reached Thursday.

One of them, the Tropicana, is also owned by Icahn. The other three -- Caesars, Harrah's and Bally's -- are all owned by Caesars Entertainment, which has been operating under bankruptcy court protection for the past 18 months.

The Trump Taj Mahal and Tropicana were both purchased out of bankruptcy in recent years.

Terms of the agreements were not released, but the union leadership is recommending that rank and file workers vote to ratify them.

The Atlantic City casino industry has been struggling with four casinos having closed in the last few years. Moody's credit rating service suggested in December that even more of the eight remaining casinos may close, as out-of-state competition heats up. The city government itself is trying to avoid its own bankruptcy.

But profitability has returned to the eight casinos in recent years, thanks to the reduced gambling competition in the city.

The union says that workers are paid an average of $11.74 an hour, and that veteran workers have received wage increases of just 80 cents over the last 12 years. It also says many of its workers rely on public assistance, such as government-subsidized health insurance and food stamps.

Meanwhile, the union claims that profits at Atlantic City casinos jumped 40% in 2015 from the year before.
