### **Boston Hotel Workers Go on Strike**
After multiple short-term strikes, hotel workers in Boston escalated their action, going on strike indefinitely until a satisfactory contract agreement was reached with their employers. This latest strike involves over 600 workers from two hotels, highlighting ongoing labor disputes over wages, working conditions, and the impact of post-COVID staffing cuts.
The workers, backed by Local 26 of Unite Here, argue that the proposed wage increases by the hotel companies do not sufficiently reflect the industry's profits or compensate for the rising cost of living.
The strike reflects a broader movement within the hospitality industry, where workers nationwide are pushing back against what they see as inadequate compensation and conditions, especially in light of the sector's recovery and profit margins post-pandemic. This action in Boston could set a precedent for other cities where similar disputes are simmering, potentially influencing future negotiations across the hotel sector to address labor demands more seriously.
