HANYC reached an agreement with the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, AFL-CIO, ratifying a fair eight-year union contract that avoids a potential hotel strike ahead of the World Cup. Leaders praised the deal for protecting nearly 400,000 tourism and hospitality workers and keeping hotels open to sustain the local economy. The contract continues the hotel industry’s record of strong wages and benefits while adding provisions intended to control healthcare costs. The agreement is presented as a major win for New York businesses and workers, particularly small businesses that rely on visitor spending. With World Cup visitors expected, the deal is described as providing stability and certainty for neighborhood restaurants, bars, and retail shops, reducing risk to opportunities for workers and families.
"More than 50 key stakeholders in the tourism and hospitality sectors today praised the Hotel Association of New York City (HANYC) for scoring a new union contract and avoiding a potential hotel union strike ahead of the World Cup next month. The leaders emphasized that hotels are essential to supporting nearly 400,000 workers across the city's tourism and hospitality industries, and that keeping hotels open was critical to our local economy."
"On Monday, HANYC reached a deal with the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, AFL-CIO (HTC) and ratified a fair, nation-leading eight-year contract that continues the hotel industry's long history of providing the best wages and benefits in the country in line with previous compensation, while adding provisions to keep healthcare costs under control."
"This agreement is a major win for New York businesses and workers who rely on a strong hotel industry, especially the small businesses that are the backbone of the city's tourism economy. With the World Cup approaching, neighborhood restaurants and bars, retail shops, and other local businesses are preparing to welcome visitors from around the world. This deal provides the stability and certainty needed to help maximize that economic opportunity for them and the workers and families they support."
"Any disruption to the hospitality sector at this critical moment from a hotel strike, new regulations, or a lack of support from City officials would put those opportunities at risk, affecting businesses that help drive New York City's economy, as well as the workers and families they support. A strike would have been terrible for us and our local economy. Thank you to the Hotel Association of New York City for managing to avoid disaster and get a fair contract for both sides despi"
