Trump Las Vegas Hotel Workers Say He s Anti-Worker. He d Rather Say YOUR FIRED than Allow Workers to Unionize! with Bethany Khan, Director of Communications, Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Luis Carlos, Banquet food server, Trump Hotel Las Vergas
After a resounding YES vote to unionize with the Culinary Workers Union, Local 226, Trump s Hotel Las Vegas refused to recognize and bargain with the union as required by federal law. Now, boss Trump has filed objections to the outcome of a free and fair union representation election won by the workers who want a union and have been accused by the federal government of violating labor laws. And, recently The National Labor Relations Board issued another federal complaint against Trump alleging that his company unlawfully told one employee, YOUR FIRED and discriminated against another based on their union support. Federal officials maintain that Trump's hotel company engaged in the numerous unlawful practices such as: issuing rules prohibiting workers from communicating with one another and the public; engaging in surveillance, and interrogations and intimidating employees; and suspending and threatening to fire union supporters.
"If Donald Trump wants to 'Make America Great Again,' said Maria Jaramillo a housekeeper at the Trump Las Vegas he should by negotiating a fair deal with us.
