ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - The union battling Atlantic
City's Trump Taj Mahal is defending its right to contact the casino's customers
and urge them to take their business elsewhere during a nasty labor dispute.
Local 54 of the Unite-HERE union told a federal
bankruptcy judge Wednesday that Trump Entertainment Resorts cannot stop it from
contacting customers, letting them know about the labor dispute and urging them
to go elsewhere.
Last week the judge let the company cancel the union
contract, ending health insurance and pensions for workers.
Trump Entertainment is threatening to close the casino on
Nov. 13 unless it gets $175 million in state aid - which New Jersey's state
senate president has already ruled out.
The union is warning customers of further labor unrest;
picketing there is set for Friday.
