SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (AP) — The last group of striking hotel workers in San Francisco are voting Tuesday to approve a tentative agreement for a new contract with Hilton, ending a strike that has lasted three months.
The vote comes after similar deals were made with Marriott and Hyatt in the past week, bringing an end to the strike for around 1,750 workers at those hotels, according to the union Unite Here Local 2.
Since September, more than 10,000 hotel workers have gone on strike in 11 cities across the U.S. The San Francisco strike grew to include about 2,500 hotel workers, according to Unite Here Local 2. Some were arrested during a demonstration in October as union members sat in a busy street by a Hilton hotel.
The agreement with Hilton would cover about 900 workers, including 650 workers who have been on strike for over three months at the Hilton hotel in San Francisco’s Union Square neighborhood and 250 workers who were prepared to strike at another Hilton property across the street, the union said.
