LAS VEGAS (AP) — Trump International Hotel workers have narrowly voted to unionize at the Las Vegas property owned by the Republican presidential front-runner.
The National Labor Relations Board said Monday that just over 50 percent of the valid ballots were cast in favor of a union.
The election was held Friday and Saturday at the hotel just off the Las Vegas Strip.
There were 447 valid votes counted from the 523 eligible voters who are full-time, part-time and on-call employees in guest services, housekeeping, food and beverage.
The results can be certified after a 7-day objection period.
