The union also wants to create a "hospitality workforce housing fund" to help hotel workers deal with the soaring costs of living in Southern California. Many union members said they live hours away and have to commute because they can't afford to live near their jobs.
Ahead of the strike, the union said the Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites, Los Angeles' largest hotel, "reached a historic agreement with its workers." The hotel is the union's biggest employer, with more than 600 union workers.
