The tentative agreement will affect around 300 hospitality workers at the historic downtown Los Angeles hotel. Unite Here Local 11 union members have been striking since July as they fight for a better contract and working conditions.
Days before it marks its 100th anniversary, the Millennium Biltmore hotel reached a tentative labor agreement with striking hospitality workers, their union announced Friday, becoming the second major Los Angeles hotel to strike a contract deal.
The union previously reached a labor deal with the operators of the Westin Bonaventure hotel downtown. Strikes are continuing against other hotels across the region. The union has held waves of picketing in various areas, most recently in the Santa Monica area, with boisterous -- and loud -- early morning rallies outside hotel properties.
On June 8, 96% of the union's members approved a strike authorization. Union officials said a recent survey of its members showed that 53% said they have moved in the past five years or will move in the near future because of soaring housing costs in the Los Angeles area. The workers represented by the union include cooks, room attendants, dishwashers, servers, bellmen and front desk agents.
