Politicians ask Taylor Swift to drop everything now, postpone L.A. concerts
Last week, SoCal hotel workers from Unite HERE Local 11 themselves called upon the pop star to postpone. “Your shows make our hotels a lot of money. In Los Angeles, hotels are doubling and tripling what they charge because you are coming. They also add junk fees on rooms, just like Ticketmaster does. But we see none of it,” read andfrom the union. “When we returned to work after the pandemic, the hotels upped our workload and cut our paychecks by not letting us clean rooms on a daily basis.
, “I stand with Unite HERE in their fight for a living wage. And I hope we can use this moment to bring attention to the hardworking men and women who are the engine of our economy.”The Eras Tour has been a boon to the local economies of the cities in which it’s touched down, generating an estimated $5 billion in economic impact on the U.S. leg, according to.
Perhaps she’ll signify her solidarity some other way—after all, as Unite HERE pointed out, Swift stood beside hotel housekeepers Juana Malara and Sandra Pezqueda formagazine’s “silence breakers” issue in 2017. “And so, we know she’s always been a fierce advocate for women,” Unite Here Local 11 member Maria Hernandez told
. “Taylor Swift has stood by women throughout her career.” As Swift finds herself in the epicenter of Hot Labor Summer, we’ll see if she gives the union a shout-out as the shows commence.
