Atlantic City’s main casino workers union has begun picketing against the Trump Taj Mahal casino amid a contract dispute.
Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union tells The Associated Press that it was unable to reach agreement on a new contract with the Taj Mahal, which is owned by billionaire investor Carl Icahn.
The walkout involving about 950 union members began at about sunrise Friday as the busy July 4 holiday weekend got underway.
