Trump Las Vegas Hotel Reaches Settlement in Union Lawsuit
Donald Trump's Las Vegas hotel has reached a settlement of 11,200 in a complaint by two workers who said they were discriminated against for union organizing. The complaint accused the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas of firing a union supporter and denying a full-time job transfer to another worker, while offering job opportunities to workers if they would not support the union, according to a release from the Culinary and Bartenders Union on Thursday. The case had been set to go to trial. The hotel  which is co-owned by the presidential nominee and casino tycoon Phil Ruffin, who spoke at the Republican National Convention  will now pay the two workers a combined 11,200 in lost wages, the release said. The union accused the hotel of an "aggressive anti-union campaign.", The hotel did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. Trump has boasted repeatedly throughout his campaign that he doesn't settle lawsuits. But a review by USA Today last month found that Trump and his businesses had reached a settlement in at least 100 cases. The New York Times has also reported on Trump's specific settlements. "I don't settle lawsuits  very rare  because once you settle lawsuits, everybody sues you. Very simple," Trump said at a March press conference in Jupiter, Fla. "It's like business. I teach it.", "I could settle the case now if I wanted to settle the case. I don't settle cases," Trump said, speaking about the Trump University lawsuit in a March interview with MSNBC's Morning Joe. "You know what happens? When you settle cases, everybody sues you. At least with me, I don't settle cases very often."
