The strike involves nearly 1,100 hotel workers in Boston and Connecticut who are seeking better wages and working conditions amid a post-pandemic industry rebound.
Gwen Mills, Unite Here’s international president, noted that hotel workers can no longer afford to live in the cities they serve, as many juggle multiple jobs.
Despite record-high room rates, hotel workers are feeling the strain of pandemic-era cuts, prompting intensified contract negotiations and strikes in multiple cities.
Affected hotels plan to remain open amid the strikes but may offer modified services, advising travelers to check ahead to avoid surprises upon arrival.
