Cleaning Up Before January 20 - Part 2

First, settle Trump University lawsuit.

Next, settle union bid at Trump Hotels.
The Trump Organization has dropped a battle with hotel workers in Las Vegas and agreed to allow a union organizing vote at its new hotel in Washington, workers say.

Unions representing food, bar and housekeeping workers at the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas said Wednesday that they had agreed with management on a four-year contract including wage increases, a pension, family health care and job security.

Workers at the hotel voted to unionize last year. Trump hotel management refused to recognize the union, charging that employees had been intimidated into voting Yes, but the National Labor Relations Board ruled for the workers in November.

It's not over, though.
As president, Trump will have the power to appoint three of the five members of NLRB [National Labor Relations Board], which could hear future disputes between Trump hotels and workers. He could end up appointing all five, plus the board's top lawyer.

And Trump leases the building for the Washington [Trump] hotel from the federal government, meaning he will be both tenant and landlord when he takes office.
Maybe he can work a better lease deal.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
