The Trump Taj Mahal casino will shut down after Labor Day, the victim of the longest strike in Atlantic City's 38-year casino era. Icahn offered to restore health insurance to Taj Mahal workers, but at a level less than what workers at the city's other seven casinos receive. Donald Trump once owned three Atlantic City casinos, but cut most ties with the city by 2009. Those job losses will be in addition to 8,000 workers who lost their jobs when four Atlantic City casinos closed in 2014. Tony Rodio, president of Tropicana Entertainment, which runs the Taj Mahal, said management decided Wednesday it can no longer operate a money-losing property in the midst of a strike.
