Taj Mahal Union Contract Voided By Judge

Judge Kevin Gross in Delaware granted a request by Trump Entertainment Resorts to terminate its contract with Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union. The company and billionaire investor Carl Icahn had said the casino can't survive without shedding costly pension and health care obligations.

 The reaction was less cheerful from the union, which lost guarantees on wages, pensions and health care.

"The decision today will certainly enrage the workers who have relied on and fought for their health care for three decades," said Bob McDevitt, president of Local 54. "We intend to continue to fight this both in the courts and in the streets."
