Trump Taj Mahal makes appeal to workers union
Describing itself as “a very sick patient lying on his death bed,” the Trump Taj Mahal is asking its main union to drop its appeal of a court-ordered cost-savings package designed to help keep the struggling Atlantic City casino alive.

A union representative said the union has not seen the letter and could not immediately comment.
