LOS ANGELES — Thousands of service workers at 19 hotels in Los Angeles and Orange counties returned to work Wednesday after three days of strikes over the busy Fourth of July weekend.
According to Unite Here Local 11 spokeswoman Maria Hernandez, workers from what she described as a first wave of walkouts returned to work Wednesday “to make room for (workers at) other hotels who have also authorized a strike to walk out.”
“They felt inspired by what the (striking workers) did and they are more energized. Any of those properties across the region could get ready to go out themselves really soon at any moment,” Hernandez said. Picketing will continue at hotels across the region at authorized strike locations, she said.
