More than 10,000 hotel workers at 24 hotels stretching from Boston to the West Coast to Hawaii went on strike early Sunday morning, disrupting travel during a busy Labor Day weekend.
The hotels are reportedly still open but guests will deal with a skeleton staff unable to provide full services. UNITE HERE, the union representing the striking workers, says they are striking not just for better pay but also better working conditions, including the return of automatic daily room cleaning that many hotels dropped during the pandemic.
“We’re on strike because the hotel industry has gotten off track,” Gwen Mills, International President of UNITE HERE, said in a statement Sunday morning. “During Covid, everyone suffered, but now the hotel industry is making record profits while workers and guests are left behind. Too many hotels still haven’t restored standard services that guests deserve. Workers aren’t making enough to support their families. Many can no longer afford to live in the cities that they welcome guests to.”
Aissata Seck, a banquet food server who has worked at Hilton Park Plaza in Boston for 18 years, said her rent has increased from $1,900 to $2,900 in the last five years. “My pay only covers my rent,” she told CNN. She is now working as an Uber driver to make ends meet.

I wonder how they plan to vote in November.
True. And then the illegals will kick the landlords out at gunpoint and run the hotels themselves.
Yes. But the risk is that by then they'll have to deal with the cartels.
“the hotel industry is making record profits while workers and guests are left behind. Too”
Do you think this is true? I suspect this is just another inflation artifact.
Like how some fries are shorter because the potatoes are smaller.
Or the whipped cream cans are only half full now.
In Massachusetts, you know how they’ll vote.
I see an opening here. We need to break into Big Laundry... make us a fortune.
Do they think that they are Air Traffic Controllers?
The hotels are run by Indians, who will be kicked out by the Venezuelans...
If they do, there’s a simple solution, make the fire look like it was caused by illegals, and lock the doors.
If she opened a hearing-aid company, she could call it Aural Secks.
I agree with the daily room cleaning. Pay $300+ per night and get every other day or third day room clean.
That is not service.

Right. And better ask for fresh sheets when you check in, too. Because if you don’t ask, you might not get them.
One article I read said that 78% of hotels always change sheets for new guests. Which means 22% don’t. (I’m guessing the latter are not the big-name places. But you never know.)
Will the illegals gain squatter’s rights in the hotel? Will they now collectively OWN the hotel?
These useful idiots will still vote for the anti-American party. You know, to save democracy from the party that enriched their lives.

Not to worry, Democrats W. Bush (”Republican” LOL), Obama, Biden, Kamala Harris are importing millions of illegal invaders to take your job(s), increase your rent price pressure and eventually force you out on the street, where you’ll starve and have no money for medical insurance which was destroyed by Barack Hussein Obama, Joe Biden, et al.
THEN they’ll tell you to worry about COVID-19(84) shots/jabs, attend Drag Queen Story Hour, go to Pride Marches, use twisted “pronouns” and bizarre “gender logic” from a Satanic Hell, tell you that a man in a dress is “a woman” and that a man can become pregnant.
And the idiots on “the news” will tell you that it’s all good.
Had enough of these liars? Stop supporting them and stop supporting those supporting them.

Surprisingly enough, Bernie Sanders was once a strong proponent of closed borders, and for just the reason you mentioned.
However, someone took Bernie aside and read him the riot act. He’s now much less vocal about it.
One of the most vocal opponents of illegal immigration was none other than Cesar Chavez.
Wow. Where to start with all the red flags.
First of all, she's a waitress. An entry level job requiring little to no skills. 18 years in a dead end job? Sad. Secondly she lives in Boston. Next: $2900 for rent. She could live in a 4 bedroom house with a pool in Texas for that kind of money
Hey.
Trump has an opening here. Anyone care to point it out?
