In labor news, some 600 workers at two Hilton hotels in Boston have gone on strike, joining thousands of others in at least four other U.S. cities who’ve walked off the job demanding higher wages, better staffing and fair workloads. Those striking include housekeepers, front desk agents, cooks, dishwashers, servers, bartenders, bellhops and door attendants.
A total of more than 4,700 hotel workers with the UNITE HERE union are currently on strike at Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott hotels in Boston, Honolulu, San Diego and San Francisco.
