Workers at major hotels in Southern California begin strike over holiday weekend
Workers at hotels including downtown Los Angeles’ JW Marriott LA Live and Millennium Biltmore, as well as the Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica and the Sheraton Universal Hotel all walked off the job Sunday morning, union spokesperson Diana Hussein told CNN. The union is pushing for significantly improved wages. As of Sunday morning, they intend to stay on strike “however long it takes,” the spokesperson told CNN in a text message. The current labor contract expired at 12:01 am PDT Saturday.
” The union said workers are paid between $20 to $25 an hour and the union is demanding an immediate $5 an hour wage increase, which would represent an immediate 20% to 25% raise. It also wants $3 an hour wage increases in subsequent years of the contract, as well as improved health care and retirement benefits. One hotel, the Westin Bonaventure hotel, has already reached a tentative labor deal with the union and will not be struck.
