Workers are picketing major Southern California hotels after walking off the job during the holiday weekend to demand better pay and benefits.
Brenden Gallagher is a striking writer who on Monday joined the hotel picket line.
The soaring cost of living in greater Los Angeles is a significant problem for hotel workers, according to the union. Talks with other hotels — including the Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons Regent Beverly Wilshire and Anaheim Hilton, near Disneyland — were at a stalemate. A coalition of more than 40 hotels involved in talks accused union leaders of canceling a scheduled bargaining session and refusing to come to the table. The hotels have offered wage increases of $2.50 per hour in the first 12 months and $6.25 over four years, the group said.
The work stoppage had been anticipated, and the properties are “fully prepared to continue to operate these hotels and to take care of our guests as long as this disruption lasts,” said Keith Grossman, a spokesperson for the coalition.
