Ratification results and terms of the labor contracts should be announced Monday, March 25 by Unite Here Local 11.
Unite Here Local 11 announced that workers from 34 Southern California hotels will begin voting to ratify the tentative labor agreements the union has reached with the hotels. Critics say the delay has cost employees pay hikes many could have seen months ago. After nearly nine months of walkouts, protests and picket lines, union workers at 34 Southern California hotels will begin voting Thursday, March 21 to ratify tentative labor agreements with the hotels.
Like myriad other Southern California labor protests, Unite Here has been calling for substantial raises, specifically an immediate $5 pay hike for all employees, in addition to affordable health insurance, a better pension plan and “humane workloads.
The hotel walkouts have been punctuated by protests, unfair labor practice charges leveled at both sides and violence on the picket lines. But no ratifications.CBG noted five bargaining sessions in 2023 in which contract offers were made by various hotels were ignored or rejected by Unite Here. “We’re puzzled as to why Unite Here’s leadership hasn’t begun the ratification process so our employees — some of whom have been waiting nearly eight months — can have their pay increases now,” Hillan said recently. “They deserve to get those benefits immediately.”
In December, Los Angeles City Council approved a request to withdraw a Local 11 initiative from the March 2024 ballot that would have required all hotels in the city to house homeless people next to paying guests. Local 11 last August urged the pop star to postpone her six-night run at SoFi Stadium to stand in “solidarity” with the striking hotel workers. Swift declined to cancel her performances. She made headlines instead when she gave her road crew up to $100,000 each as a personal thank you for their hard work during the tour.
