10K unionized hotel workers hold strikes across multiple cities, demand higher wages, increased staffing

More than 10,000 unionized hotel workers at hotels in multiple cities are currently participating in strikes.

The thousands of Hyatt, Hilton and Marriott hotel workers conducting the strikes belong to Unite Here, according to the labor union. 

They want "higher wages, fair staffing and workloads, and the reversal of COVID-era cuts" from the hotel companies, Unite Here said in a Monday press release.

For some of the unionized hotel workers, Labor Day marked the second day of demonstrations, per the union.
