A third wave of Southern California hotel workers walk off the job
Thousands of Southern California cooks, housekeepers, dishwashers, bellmen and other hotel workers walked off the job Thursday, July 20, marking the third wave of walkouts in the largest multi-hotel strike in California history., took to the streets following the hotels’ latest labor proposal — an offer they allege doesn’t include “one penny more for wages, pension or healthcare.”
“We have decided to postpone our meeting until this is resolved,” a representative with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation said Thursday. “Most of these conventions are booked in multi-year cycles, so many of these groups might not be coming back for five years,” he said. “And they always have the option of going elsewhere.”
Gladis Avila, a housekeeper at the W Hollywood hotel for 11 years, said her workload has become nearly impossible. The hotel used to require daily cleaning of the rooms. But after COVID-19 lockdowns ended, management opted to have to rooms cleaned only after guests leave. The union also wants the hotels to support a controversial LA County ballot measure requiring them to house the homeless along with regular guests, and it wants to establish a fund to help pay for the construction of affordable housing for hotel workers who are struggling amid rising rents and mortgages.
