Trump's clash with Las Vegas Union highlights his unpredictability

Some suspect Trump is making a political gambit by standing up to big labor..

They note his stance against the unions didn’t seem to diminish his appeal to white, blue-collar men in Nevada, who helped Trump handily win the GOP caucus in February.

Others say it simply reflects Trump's hard-charging negotiating style.

Union officials said the 523 workers at the Trump hotel stand to make an additional $3.33 an hour, based on the standard pay for comparable workers at other union hotels.
Assuming they all worked full-time, that increase would add about $3.6 million to the Trump hotel's annual labor expenses, not including the cost of health insurance and other benefits.

Though it opened during the financial crisis in 2008, the luxury tower had income of $45.6 million in the 12 months that ended June 30, 2015, according to Trump’s filing last year with the Federal Election Commission.
