Thousands of Southern California hotel workers were back on the job Wednesday after three days of strikes. Their union says more walkouts will come.
Employees at 18 hotels — including the Biltmore and JW Marriott in downtown Los Angeles and the Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica — have gone on strike, according to the union.
While Local 11-represented workers at more than 60 hotels are authorized for a strike, not all have walked out. “I know strikes can be hard sometimes, but when I’m out here, I’m always thinking to myself: Why am I striking? We are fighting for the future of our children, for stability, and for respect. It is us who make that money and we deserve more of that piece of the pie,” Soto-Martinez said in a mixture of English and Spanish during a rally speech.
