Baltimore Hotel Workers Hold First Strike in Decades
Posted On: Sep 03, 2024
Sept. 3, 2024 | STRIKES | Hotel workers walked out of the city-owned downtown Hilton hotel Monday for a daylong Labor Day strike demanding better pay and better working conditions, making it the first strike in 54 years at any hotel in Baltimore. Unite Here Local 7 represents about 200 workers at the hotel. The action follows similar protests in eight cities across the country on Sunday as contract negotiations have stalled for hotel workers demanding higher wages and better working conditions. The union, which represents 300,000 people across North America, said thousands of local hospitality union workers across the U.S. have approved strike votes at Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott and other hotels. They are all demanding higher wages, fair staffing and workloads, and the reversal of COVID-era staffing cuts. Baltimore Banner PHOTO/Penelope (@p_blackwell)/X)
