San Francisco Marriott Workers End 89-Day Strike with Tentative Labor Deal

The agreement includes wage increases, healthcare protection, and understaffing safeguards, while negotiations with Hyatt and Hilton remain unresolved.

• Around 1,500 striking workers at four San Francisco Marriott hotels reached a tentative agreement after nearly three months on the picket line.
• The contract includes wage increases, protection against understaffing, and preservation of the union's healthcare plan, covering approximately 2,000 Marriott employees.
• Marriott broke ranks with Hyatt and Hilton, with whom it typically negotiates jointly, to reach this deal after five days of intense bargaining.
• While Marriott workers are set to return to work pending ratification, approximately 1,000 workers at Hyatt and Hilton hotels continue their strike for similar demands.
• The strike, which disrupted prominent hotels and Union Square during the holiday season, highlighted ongoing challenges in San Francisco's hotel industry post-pandemic.
