Trump hotels reach deal with unions

New York

HOTELS in Las Vegas and Washington owned by US President-elect Donald Trump have reached agreements with their workers' unions that will bring an end to a series of cases claiming the hotels violated federal labour law, the unions said on Wednesday.

More than 500 food-and-beverage and housekeeping employees at the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas have entered into a four-year collective bargaining agreement effective Jan 1 that guarantees annual raises and pension and healthcare benefits, Trump Hotels and Unite Here Culinary Workers Union Local 226 said in a joint statement.
