Trump properties furlough nearly 2,000 workers amid coronavirus pandemic

(CNN): Trump properties have collectively furloughed nearly 2,000 employees across several states, including at President Donald Trump’s oceanfront Florida resort, as businesses around the country face forced closures due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Public documents show that Trump properties in Illinois, Nevada, New York, Virginia and Washington, DC, have collectively furloughed more than 1,200 additional employees. And at least 713 more workers were furloughed at two Trump properties in Florida, the Trump Organization said in documents filed with the Florida Department of Labor and local officials.

Trump International Hotel workers were furloughed in Chicago (294 employees), Las Vegas (552 employees) and Washington (237). Trump International Hotel and Tower in New York furloughed 70 employees and Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia, another 102 employees.

Trump National Doral Miami has furloughed 560 employees, while Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach has furloughed 153 employees, according to the organization. The furloughs at those properties are of non-essential employees, including 31 cooks, 155 servers, and 49 housekeepers across the two properties, the organization said.

A spokesman for the Trump Organization did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.
