The main casino workers' union in Atlantic City plans to block traffic in a demonstration Wednesday to protest efforts by the owners of the Taj Mahal casino to eliminate workers' pensions and health care.
Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union say they plan an act of civil disobedience near the casino Wednesday night.
Trump Entertainment Resorts says it will close the Taj Mahal _ its last casino _ next month without major concessions from the union.
News of the protest came on the same day that Donald and Ivanka Trump prevailed upon Trump Entertainment to remove the Trump name from the now-closed Trump Plaza casino.
They claim the company let the two casinos fall into such disrepair that it violated quality standards agreed to by the sides.
