Boston hotel workers have initiated an open-ended strike at two of the city's busiest Hilton hotels, including the Boston Park Plaza. The strike, organized by the union UNITE HERE Local 26, began after negotiations for a new contract with Aramark failed. The workers are demanding fair wages, better working conditions, and respect on the job. The strike has affected several of Boston's landmarks and has garnered support from local community leaders and politicians. Representative Ed Markey and other local officials have expressed solidarity with the workers, joining them on the picket line.
