Workers at Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas voted to unionize.

It looks like the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas will be unionized.

On Dec. 4 and 5, more than 500 hotel employees voted to join the Culinary Workers’ Local 226 and the Bartenders Union Local 165 of Unite Here.

And just last week, workers at the Trump International Hotel in Toronto signed their first union contract.

So, the country’s leading anti-union presidential candidate is dealing with at least two of his properties voting to unionize.

With us to talk about what that means is Geoconda Arguello Kline, the secretary-treasurer of Culinary local 226.
