Among other benefits, the Trump Payroll Corp. set up a group long-term care insurance program in 2004 through First Unum Life Insurance Co., according to the industry website LifeHealthPro.
In recent news, in December, after more than a year of refusing to negotiate, the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas signed a four-year contract with Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165. Under the pact, full-time workers will receive annual raises, a pension, family health care and other benefits.
Although the contract’s terms weren’t disclosed, in March Paul Fronstin, director of the Health Research and Education Program at the Employee Benefit Research Institute in Washington, D.C., reviewed Trump International Hotel Las Vegas’s health benefits at Salon’s request. Noting that the premiums were below average, Fronstin said, “Some might consider this a Cadillac plan.”
At the same time, he agreed with the culinary union’s contention that its plan was superior. Under the union’s provisions, all employees—including part-time workers—qualified for a health plan that imposed no premiums. And Fronstin saw no deductibles and lower co-payments in the union plan as well. So whichever health plan is included in the contract, it seems that at least Trump’s Las Vegas hotel full-time employees did reasonably well. (A spokeswoman for Local 226 declined to be interviewed.)
Whether or not employees at other Trump properties benefit from similar plans is unclear, but it’s worth noting that in strong union areas like Las Vegas, even nonunion employers typically offer competitive benefits.
Trump never had any employees. All he has is contractors, subcontractors, sub-subcontractors and so on. All he ever does is give orders and let the others do the dirty stuff for him.
Looks like one of those TV house-wrecking shows, except that they can build it back better, not worse. Cost seems to be the variable. Destruction and leaving seems to be the Republican preferred method. Let the little people pay. Like the alleged national motto of South Viet Nam: Oublez la guerre, gagnez l’argent! (Forget the war, get the money!)

Republicans made sure Obamacare failed. Republicans don’t have a plant to replace it. They just are not that concerned about your health care.
