Mr. Trump’s early interactions with labor unions were based on less complex concerns. Mr. Trump paid $1.375 million to settle the case, including a $500,000 payment to a union benefits fund. The terms of the settlement remained sealed until Mr. Trump became president and a judge released them over his objections. Those companies typically handled the hiring and management of union workers. “We had very little, if anything, to do with the unions,” said Barbara Res, who oversaw the construction of Trump Tower for Mr. Trump and worked with him for years.

Chick-fil-A is rebuilding a drive-thru in Santa Barbara, CA, after its long lines disrupted traffic. But this Santa Barbara restaurant isn't the only one to have irritated local residents. Earlier this year, officials in Charlotte, North Carolina, told a problematic Chick-fil-A restaurant to demolish its building and start over with a drive-thru-only model. The Santa Barbara restaurant's franchise owner told local news site Noozhawk that it serves between 1,700 and 2,200 customers daily. That June, the City Council approved the restaurant's proposed traffic circulation agreement after previously threatening to declare it a public nuisance and even shut down its drive-thru.
