A couple of years ago, that quota rose to 16 rooms per day... “My back and my shoulders [hurt],” said Patel, a 13-year veteran of the Taj and a native of India. “There are so many double beds. There’s not much time to eat. ... It’s too much.”...

The casino said the employees on the bargaining committee “seem hell-bent on trying to close this property and killing the jobs and livelihood of the other Taj employees including their own union members.”
