    Building trades workers idled after Tropicana accident By JOHN CURRAN
    Now hundreds of building trades workers who had been busy on the Tropicana Casino and Resort expansion project are off the job indefinitely, with construction halted in the wake of the Oct. 30 collapse of a parking garage.
