More than 10,000 workers at 25 hotels in the United States went on strike yesterday after choosing Labour Day weekend to amplify their demands for higher pay, fairer workloads, and the reversal of COVID-era cuts.
The UNITE HERE union, which represents the striking housekeepers and other hospitality workers, said 200 workers at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbour were the latest to walk off the job.
Nearly half the striking workers are in Honolulu.
Thousands of workers are also on strike in Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, and San Jose, California.
The strikes targeting Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt hotels were set to last one to three days.
