Thousands of Southern California hospitality workers have ratified a new contract with 34 hotels after repeated strikes since the summer. Their union says they will keep fighting for deals with more than two dozen others.
Unite Here Local 11 workers hold a rally as they protest outside the Figueroa Hotel in downtown Los Angeles on Monday, March 25, 2024.
Room attendants, cooks and other non-tipped workers will receive wage hikes of $10 an hour over the term of the contract, representing a 40% to 50% increase, the union said. Half of the increase will come in the first year.Room attendants at most hotels will earn $35 an hour by July 2027 and top cooks will earn $41 an hour, the union said. Tipped workers will see such improvements as double-time pay for holidays, vacation, sick days and increased shares of service charges.
“We have won a life-changing contract that transforms hotel jobs from low-wage service work to middle-class professional positions,” Kurt Petersen, co-president of Local 11, told workers at a rally outside a downtown Los Angeles hotel.“The ratification votes are a long time coming.
