Trump Taj Mahal closes permanently
The Trump Taj Mahal officially closed down on Monday, according to multiple reports.
The closing of the Atlantic City casino-hotel put 3,000 people out of work.
{mosads}Billionaire investor Carl Icahn, the current owner of the casino, said the closure was a result of a disagreement with unionized workers.
Icahn said in a statement Monday that the casino had lost “almost $250 million over just a few short years.”
“It was simply impossible to find a workable path forward that would not have required funding additional investments and losses in excess of $100 million over the next year,” Icahn said.
“Like many of the employees at the Taj Mahal, I wish things had turned out differently.”
“For a few million bucks he could have had labor peace and a content workforce,” McDevitt said. “But instead he’d rather slam the door shut on these long-term workers just to punish them and attempt to break their strike.”
