Hotel Workers Across North America Escalate Strikes
News summary

Hotel workers across North America are escalating labor actions amid stalled contract negotiations and demands for higher wages and better working conditions. In Quebec, approximately 2,600 unionized employees staged a 24-hour strike affecting 23 hotels in Montreal, Quebec City, and Sherbrooke, seeking a 36% wage increase and an end to the use of private employment agencies. Meanwhile, nearly 5,000 hotel workers in Oahu are voting on a strike authorization due to stagnant wages and poor staffing conditions post-pandemic. Additionally, over 13,500 hotel workers in Boston, Honolulu, Providence, and San Francisco are also considering strikes to address similar grievances.
