Overruling objections filed by Donald Trump’s corporation, the National Labor Relations Boardofficially certified a union for more than 500 workers at the Trump International Hotel just off the Las Vegas strip. The workers, who voted to unionize last December, are now demanding the hotel’s management sit down with them to negotiate a contract immediately. Yet management has indicated they will instead appeal the Labor Board’s decision to the federal agency in Washington.“We’re just waiting for a contract,” housekeeper Maria Jaramillo told ThinkProgress. “We deserve one. We’re not second-class workers. So we’re here, waiting for him.”
Despite the new ruling in their favor, the workers may have to keep waiting. The hotel’s decision to appeal is in keeping with their longstanding efforts to prevent their employees from organizing. Workers told ThinkProgress they were subjected to intimidation by their supervisors and the “union avoidance” consulting firm they hired.

Donald Trump a friend of the working class and organized labor? :naughty Not so much.
Glad these workers are winning in their efforts to beat that scab Trump. :applaud[/FONT][/COLOR]
As the man said: "how many do you employ?"
Is this supposed to be some sort of valid excuse or support of Trump?

I don't like the idea of Trump as President, but he the better friend of the working class, than you or BS seem to be.
:lamo Oh yes. Outsourcing his jobs and attempting to block the efforts of workers to organize is such a "friend"

You're just tooting your bias. But an outsourced job is as much a job as one not outsourced. And it seems quite legitimate to try and discourage unionization that has priced many jobs impossible in the USA.

Is your post supposed to be criticism of him?
The funny thing about that hotel is that it does NOT have a casino. The Nevada will not grant Trump a license because of his past screw ups in Atlantic city.
My bias? You have not given any information beyond just saying unions are bad and Trump is a "job creator".... Therefore what? These workers should not organize in their workplace?
He was granted a state gaming license in 2004.
Perhaps the lack of a casino in his hotel in Las Vegas is Trump's idea then. He has not had good luck with casinos.
He didn't outsource any of their jobs. Last I checked you can't be a bartender or a housekeeper in a Vegas casino remotely.
They can organize. That is quite legitimate as it is to try to persuade them not to do so. But they shouldn't complain, if the jobs leave. When they are very successful they can even make a Detroit out of one of the most booming cities of the land.
It is his responsibility to fight a union. A business executive who doesn't would be incompetent. He may well be pro union. I don't know. But that wouldn't have anything to do with fighting a union. It is in the best interests of a company not to have a union.Its a praise for the workers attempting to organize and a criticism of him fighting the unionization efforts, especially when he tries to play the card that he is pro-union....
These jobs specifically? No. I'm talking other jobs that have the Trump name..
"Trump outsourcing includes home goods, daughter’s clothing line"
"Donald Trump Decries Outsourcing but Much of Family Brand Is Manufactured Abroad"
"Donald Trump's Yooge Flip-Flop on Outsourcing. Before he railed about jobs going overseas, he defended the practice as good for business."

My comment you originally quoted was in response to joG where he implied that Trump was a friend of American working class...Trump's a knucklehead. I know that, which is why I'd be more inclined to vote for my dead grandmother for President than Trump. Of course he outsources. And he's a hypocrite for doing it. But what does it have to do with his employees unionizing in Vegas?

So he is "pro-union" but anti-union at the same time? Literally makes no sense.
