近200名酒店员工星期四在洛杉矶举行示威，抗议“团结在这里”当地11人工会本月早些时候批准罢工。工会官员表示，他们正在推动提高“在洛杉矶负担住房所需”的工资。

工会在一份新闻稿中表示:“除了提高工资、医疗福利、养老金和更安全的工作量外，工会还在寻求建立一个酒店员工住房基金。”合同将于6月30日到期，凯悦酒店、洲际酒店集团、希尔顿酒店和万豪酒店等雇主未能同意支付接近工人们所说的在工作城市有尊严地生活所需的工资。工会最早可能在7月4日的周末号召拥有超过1.5万名工人的数十家酒店举行罢工。这将是美国现代工业中规模最大的酒店工人罢工。”

Nearly 200 hotel workers demonstrated in Los Angeles Thursday following Unite Here Local 11's authorization to strike earlier this month. 

Union officials said they were pushing for better wages "required to afford housing in Los Angeles."

"The union is seeking to create a hospitality workforce housing fund, in addition to better wages, healthcare benefits, pension and safer workloads," the union said in a news release. "Contracts expire June 30, and employers like Hyatt, IHG, Hilton and Marriott have failed to agree to anything close to the wages workers say they need to live with dignity in the cities where they work. 

The union could call for a strike at dozens of hotels with more than 15,000 workers as early as July 4th weekend. This would be the largest hotel worker strike in modern U.S. industry."
