Still seething from the cancellation of its members' health insurance and pension benefits nearly two years ago, Atlantic City's main casino workers union said early Friday it will go on strike against the Trump Taj Mahal casino. The Taj Mahal was the only one of the five casinos targeted by the union that was unable to reach a new deal. It was not immediately clear whether the Taj Mahal planned to press management into service, hire temporary replacement workers, or some combination of both. Icahn kept the Taj Mahal afloat during its bankruptcy, and took it over in March. Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union told The Associated Press that it was unable to reach agreement on a new contract with the Taj Mahal, which is owned by billionaire investor Carl Icahn.
