Donald Trump quietly paid $1.4 million in 1998 to settle a class-action lawsuit that alleged he stiffed a union pension fund by employing undocumented Polish laborers.

The amount became public this week after a judge released previously sealed settlement documents.

The case originated in the summer of 1980 , when Trump was under pressure to finish the demolition of the Bonwit Teller building on Fifth Avenue .
