Striking Atlantic City casino workers are using the Fourth of July holiday to highlight their struggle against billionaire Carl Icahn, who owns the Trump Taj Mahal casino. The Taj Mahal was opened in 1990 by Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, but he has not owned it for years. "We beat the King of England 240 years ago and defeated tyranny," striking Taj Mahal worker Bart Rodgers yelled through a megaphone outside the casino. Lee Martin took a job at the Taj Mahal three weeks before the strike, and now finds himself walking a picket line. The main issue in the strike is the termination of union members' health insurance and pension benefits by previous owners.
