WTXF Good Day Philadelphia At 6A July 1, 2016

They are moving through. Passing shower. We are seeing a nice break. Nothing developing across delaware bay now but we will keep a close eye on this radar. People head willing there this morning. That one shower is moving toward Long Beach Island. So that continues, to move, north. We will keep a close eye on this over next few hours but right now we want to give it back to chris and lauren. A thousand workers at taj mahal are currently on strike. Casino union failed to make a deal. Steve keeley is live with the striking workers, steve, did they do it. Reporter i will talk to our cameraman, joe, they are handing out picket signs. They have started a strike. Man handing out picket signs. The workers working overnight here comes a cook out the front door. They are walking off the job in the middle of their shift. They are on staggered shift this guy coming out of the kitchen and on the boardwalk and on the picket lines. They negotiated until midnight a union leader told me and said they went no where. They werent not even 1 inch closer to an agreement then they were last week. They would have kept negotiating. It was fruitless to even try because they had no interest, they being the management, and the negotiating team for trump taj mahal, in reaching a deal. It is like they said go ahead and go on strike. Here is our first picket line in front of the casino since 2004. Biggest casino. Not busiest time of the day but there will be the busiest weekend and a lot of people upstairs in those trump taj mahal rooms that are likely full, sold out will be woken up by going on down here below on the boardwalk finding out that the person bringing them up shampoo, conditioner, morning coffee, breakfast in bed, they are not working with the bull horns and drums and picket signs wearing red shirts. Here we go again. They have got no where. Heres the question. We have not heard from the trump taj mahal management. These are in the blackjack dealers. These are not other dealers or casino floor workers who are also Union Members. Do they honor this too and keep working or do they keep the casino open despite the fact that the rooms arent going to get cleaned and nobody working in the restaurants or serving drinks to the gamblers while at blackjack tables. That is a question and we dont have that answer yet. I will go in there between my live shots to see if there is anybody serving drinks and in a sense then going through picket lines and not honoring strike but Union Leaders thought they would get full cooperation from every member because they have no Health Benefits. They did a pole of their staff here and because they only make a average of 11 an hour is there a third of the workers here living life without any Health Insurance at all. They cannot afford it. That is a sad state of affairs and why they are on the this picket line. Real quickly what are their chance, what are they saying. Reporter your guess is as good as mine im way out of the shot because there is 15 cameras here and i dont want to get in everybody shot and through a bull horn and im on the other side of the boardwalk. Thanks, steve great job. State senators were expected to vote on a plan to hike garden state gas tax by 23 cents a gallon while cutting the states sales tax by one percentage point.
