Tell Donald Trump: Make a deal with your Las Vegas hotel employees! (e-action)





https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-donald-trump-make-a-deal-with-your-las-vegas-hotel-employees?source=email

Hello!

I am a housekeeper at the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. This past December, a majority of employees like me at Trump Las Vegas voted YES to a union. But Trump's company has refused listen to us and honor the results of our election.

Instead, they've blocked negotiations through legal challenges – which so far have gone nowhere. A federal officer recently recommended that the company’s list of objections be "overruled in their entirety" – and that the NLRB certify the union.Instead of sitting down to negotiate a fair contract, Trump company lawyers are still fighting to overturn the election.

If Donald Trump wants to “Make America Great Again,” he should start by negotiating a deal with his us – his Las Vegas hotel employees – just like his company did for workers at Trump Toronto in Canada.

Just last year, Trump workers in Canada voted for a union and have since negotiated their first contract – a deal that gives workers much like us a chance to provide for their families, keep their kids healthy, enjoy job protections and security, and one day retire with dignity.

We just want a fair deal like Trump workers in Canada got.

Donald Trump wrote the book on The Art of the Deal. It's time he sits down and negotiates with us. We deserve to have our vote counted.

In solidarity,
Maria Mendoza

To: Donald J. Trump


Mr. Trump:

You say you want to “Make America Great Again.” We call on you to start by negotiating with your Trump Hotel Las Vegas employees just like your company did with workers at Trump Toronto in Canada.

Last year, when Trump employees in Canada voted in favor of a union, they got a first contract. Trump Las Vegas workers just want a fair deal like workers in Canada got. They want to enjoy the same kind of job security; to provide for their families and keep their kids healthy; to one day retire with dignity.

Mr. Trump, it’s time you negotiate with your employees at Trump Las Vegas, who deserve to have their vote honored.
