WHO: Trump Las Vegas employees, who are members of the Trump Hotel Negotiating Committee, joined by members of the Culinary Union.
WHY: In December 2015, hundreds of Trump Hotel employees in Las Vegas voted to form a union. Since that time, Trump’s company has refused to honor the results of that election and negotiate a first contract with its employees.
Now, Trump Las Vegas employees are calling on the world-famous negotiator to make a deal. Last year, Trump’s company negotiated a first contract with hotel workers in Toronto after workers there won a union election. Las Vegas workers say to “Make America Great Again,” Trump should start by negotiating with them the same deal his company made with his Canadian workers.
In the hopes of catching his ear, Trump Las Vegas workers will follow him on the campaign trail with an appeal to negotiate. Members of the Trump Hotel Negotiating Committee will visit nine cities across the U.S. during the March primaries.
