Hundreds of workers marched today in front of the Westin St. Francis, one of the three major hotels that are in contract talks with the union. They're working under an expired contract, and are asking for pay increases that at least keep up with the cost of living.
"People are fired up," Tapia said. "We want a fair contract that allows us to support our family in our daily life," Bill Fung, who has worked at the Hyatt for 29 years, told me.
This is still a union town, and while tourists were checking into the Westin today while the workers marched outside, there's no way a strike won't have serious financial impacts on the hotel industry..."the companies' response is to move backward," Tapia said.
