10,000 U.S. Hotel Workers Go on Strike to Demand Higher Pay and Increased Staffing 

HeadlineSep 03, 2024

More than 10,000 hotel workers across 25 hotels in nine U.S. cities walked out on strike over the Labor Day holiday weekend, demanding higher wages and better staffing levels. The strikes come after months of fruitless contract talks between UNITE HERE and hotel chains including Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott. Union President Gwen Mills said in a statement, “We won’t accept a 'new normal' where hotel companies profit by cutting their offerings to guests and abandoning their commitments to workers.” Later in the broadcast, we’ll speak with strikers in Connecticut and California.
