Several Hundred Hotel Workers Remain On Strike

The union and members say that in many cases, workers are now being paid less than before the COVID-Pandemic.

Most of the 10,000 hotel workers who went on strike during Labor Day, have now returned to work, but some refuse.

A group of 700 Unite Here Union members in San Diego will reportedly continue to strike for the foreseeable future. Those workers are employed at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. It was said they plan to remain on strike until there is a contract agreement.

The union and members say that in many cases, workers are now being paid less than before the COVID-Pandemic due to reduced hours and tips, even as travel demand returns and profits in the hotel sector soar.

The San Diego hotel plans to stay open during the demonstrations, just as all of the hotels that were targeted did.

The workers involved in the strike ranged across Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott properties.
