Laid-off restaurant workers at Hotel Figueroa are asking the Los Angeles city attorney's office to investigate the hotel and third-party management for potentially violating a city 'right to return' law.
Two days after the food hospitality operator at a fashionable downtown hotel shuttered its restaurants and laid off its food and beverage employees, a new third-party management company moved in and hired a whole new set of workers, according to a complaint filed with the Los Angeles city attorney’s office. The laid-off food and beverage laborers had attempted to unionize months earlier.
The hotel reopened as the Radisson Hotel LAX about a year later but did not hire all of the former Wyndham workers, even though more than 100 of them submitted applications. Since then, the law has been invoked a handful of times, said Maria Hernandez, a spokeswoman with Unite Here Local 11. On a recent Friday afternoon, a bartender at the reopened Bar Magnolia said he and the other bartenders present were new to the job, as well as other non-management employees.
