HeadlineOct 11, 2016

In more news from the campaign trail, the Trump Taj Mahal casino hotel in Atlantic City officially shut down Monday—leaving 3,000 workers without jobs. Taj Mahal workers have been on strike since July 1, demanding reinstatement of health, pension and other benefits eliminated during 2014 bankruptcy proceedings. Donald Trump opened the Taj Mahal 26 years ago, but it now belongs to Trump’s friend and fellow billionaire, Carl Icahn.
