San Francisco Hotel Workers Strike for Better Pay and Conditions

Around 1,500 workers walk off the job at major Union Square hotels amid nationwide labor unrest in the hospitality industry.

The strike involves 1,500 workers from the Grand Hyatt, Hilton, and Westin St. Francis hotels in San Francisco's Union Square.
Workers are demanding higher wages, affordable healthcare, and the reversal of COVID-era staffing cuts.
The action is part of a larger movement by Unite Here, with over 13,500 hotel workers striking across multiple states since September 1.
Hotel management claims they are open to negotiations but have contingency plans to maintain operations.
The strike highlights broader issues of income inequality and labor rights in the post-pandemic economy.
