Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel has agreed to pay two workers a total of $11,200 to avoid going to trial over a labor complaint, the Culinary Union announced today.
A complaint filed in March by the National Labor Relations Board alleged one employee at Trump International Hotel lost a job and another was not transferred to a full-time position because of their support for the union.
The complaint also alleged the hotel promised job opportunities to workers who ditched their support for the union.
Geoconda Arguello-Kline, the union’s secretary-treasurer, said in a statement that employees at the Trump International are “treated unfairly” and paid less per hour than workers at nearby resorts.
