Trump accused of stiffing over 200 Taj Mahal Casino subcontractors

Amid his soaring speeches and colorful, pro-worker rhetoric, U.S Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has forgotten to walk the talk.

Trump, who has built an image as a protector of workers and jobs throughout the Republican presidential primaries, is now accused of failing to pay hundreds of people – from carpenters to lawyers – for their services.

USA Todayreported that more than 3,500 lawsuits have been filed against Trump over the past three decades, and majority of the cases involves American workers claiming that Trump or his companies have refused to pay them.

The some of the lawsuits against Trump, which were all documented by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission in the 1990, came from at least 253 project sub-contractors of the Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, who all accusedTrump of failing to pay them in full or on time for their work. Records showed that Trump’s companies owed a total of $69.5 million to 253 subcontractors on the Taj Mahal project.
