Hundreds of hotel workers in Hollywood and Pasadena walked out this morning, kicking off a third wave of rolling strikes to hit Southern California this summer.
Workers from 1 Hotel West Hollywood, the Andaz West Hollywood, the W Hollywood, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel San Pedro, Hilton Glendale, Hyatt Place Pasadena and the Sky Terrace Restaurant walked out starting at 5 a.m.
Workers are picketing for higher wages and better benefits and working conditions. Unite Here Local 11 says hotel employees are forced into long commutes because their pay hasn’t kept pace with soaring housing costs.
