The Trump Taj Mahal casino is now in its final days, as its owners have announced plans to shut it down permanently once Labor Day weekend has passed. Thanks to an ongoing strike by members of the Unite-HERE union that has now become the longest in Atlantic City casino history, its economic viability is now in serious jeopardy.

No further negotiations have been scheduled and the casino is now under the control of Donald Trump’s close friend Carl Icahn. The union’s main point of contention has been the loss of their health insurance benefits and pension, as a bankruptcy court judge ruled in favor of allowing the owners of the casino to eliminate these perks back in 2014.

Bob McDevitt, president of the union, says that he knew a strike would take place once the ruling was made and that there was essentially no way for him to control how long it would last. He also says that the workers are prepared to wait as long as it takes for them to receive a new, fair contract.

For Icahn’s part, he claims that a new contract was offered that would have restored the union’s health care. However, the terms of this agreement offered them a lesser amount of compensation than employees at Atlantic City’s other casinos.

Strikers are digging in their heels and preparing for a prolonged battle. They are currently receiving financial assistance from a strike fund, while others have filed from government assistance and are working with utility providers to come up with a payment plan.

The union’s objective is not to destroy the Trump Taj Mahal, as many of them have been employees since its opening in 1990. Their only goal? To make the casino great again.
