Hilton San Diego Workers End Strike with New Contract

After a 38-day strike, Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel workers have ratified a new four-year contract, which was approved by 94% of the union members represented by Unite Here Local 30. The agreement includes significant wage increases, enhanced pension and healthcare funding, improvements in workloads and anti-harassment policies, changes to tip policies, and recognition of Juneteenth as a holiday. The strike, which began on September 1, was part of a larger movement involving thousands of hotel workers nationwide. The resolution of this strike may influence ongoing labor negotiations at the Hotel del Coronado, where workers have authorized a strike if similar contract terms are not met. This outcome highlights the increasing labor activism among hotel workers across the United States.
