The complaint accused the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas of firing a union supporter and denying a full-time job transfer to another worker, while offering job opportunities to workers if they would not support the union, according to a [release](http://www.culinaryunion226.org/news/press/trump-hotel-las-vegas-agrees-to-11200-settlement-after-treating-employees-unfairly) from the Culinary and Bartenders Union on Thursday. The case had been set to go to trial. The hotel — which is co-owned by the [presidential nominee](http://time.com/4416422/republican-convention-donald-trump/) and [casino tycoon Phil Ruffin](http://time.com/4415131/republican-convention-phil-ruffin/), who spoke at the Republican National Convention — will now pay the two workers a combined $11,200 in lost wages, the release said. The union accused the hotel of an “aggressive anti-union campaign.” The hotel did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. Trump has boasted repeatedly throughout his campaign that he doesn’t settle lawsuits. But a [review by USA _Today_](http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/01/donald-trump-lawsuits-legal-battles/84995854/) last month found that Trump and his businesses had reached a settlement in at least 100 cases. The [New York _Times_ has also reported](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/06/us/politics/donald-trump-soho-settlement.html) on Trump’s specific settlements. “I don’t settle lawsuits — very rare — because once you settle lawsuits, everybody sues you. Very simple,” Trump [said](http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1603/08/se.03.html) at a March press conference in Jupiter, Fla. “It’s like business. I teach it.” “I could settle the case now if I wanted to settle the case. I don’t settle cases,” Trump said, speaking about the [Trump University lawsuit](http://time.com/4353116/trump-university-documents-released/) in a [March interview](http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/trump-on-university-i-don-t-settle-cases-often-635749955676) with MSNBC’s _Morning Joe_. “You know what happens? When you settle cases, everybody sues you. At least with me, I don’t settle cases very often.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4417425/donald-trump-las-vegas-hotel-settlement/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4417425/donald-trump-las-vegas-hotel-settlement/"},"headline":"Trump Las Vegas Hotel Reaches Settlement in Union Lawsuit","datePublished":"2016-07-21T18:33:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:45:53.496Z","description":"Donald Trump has boasted throughout his campaign that he doesn't settle lawsuits","url":"https://time.com/4417425/donald-trump-las-vegas-hotel-settlement/","keywords":["Donald Trump","2016 Election","Nevada"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt41d781f85c095cb2/69889e9ca988ca0e686b8b9b/donald-trump-las-vegas-hotel-suit.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt41d781f85c095cb2/69889e9ca988ca0e686b8b9b/donald-trump-las-vegas-hotel-suit.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Las Vegas Economy Bounces Back","caption":"Las Vegas Economy Bounces Back","creditText":"George Rose/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4417425/donald-trump-las-vegas-hotel-settlement/","name":"Trump Las Vegas Hotel Reaches Settlement in Union Lawsuit"}}]}] ```
