Hospitality workers across the United States, represented by UNITE HERE, are striking for better wages, working conditions, and contracts. The strikes have garnered support from various political figures, including Senator Chris Murphy and Senator Richard Blumenthal, who joined the picket lines at the Omni Hotel in New Haven. The workers are demanding fair pay, safe working conditions, decent treatment, and social and economic justice. The movement is also active in cities like Boston and San Diego, with workers at the W Hotel and stadium workers in Philadelphia preparing to strike against Aramark for better health care, time off, and family-sustaining wages.
