Hotel workers strike across US as contract talks fail

From the creator

Thousands of hotel workers across the U.S. initiated a multi-day strike after contract talks with major hotel operators Marriott International, Hilton Worldwide and Hyatt Hotels reached an impasse. The workers, represented by the Unite Here union, are demanding higher wages, the restoration of automatic daily room cleaning, and improved working conditions. The strikes have affected 24 hotels in cities including San Francisco, San Diego, Honolulu, Boston, Seattle, and Greenwich, Connecticut, with the potential for workers from additional cities to join the walkout. Brigette Browning, President of Unite Here Local said, "bargaining with the hotel for months and they haven't even given us an economic proposal yet and the workers really felt like they were being disrespected."
