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 announced Monday that workers won higher pay and increased employer contributions to pensions.

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. Automatic 20% gratuities at full-service restaurants will be 100% shared by staff.
Characterizing their demands as a fight for wages that will allow members to live in the cities where they work, more than 10,000 employees in greater Los Angeles began rolling strikes at 52 hotels in July 2023. Workers repeatedly went on strike, picketed and later returned to work. The union represents 15,000 workers but staff at some hotels have not engaged in strikes.
