If Greater Boston’s hotel owners don’t match their demands by Friday, the unions representing around 4,000 of their workers say they will stage an indefinite, “all-out strike.”
Some 10,000 hotel workers represented by the UNITE HERE union walked off the job Sunday at 24 hotels in eight cities, including Boston, demanding higher wages and a reversal of service and staffing cuts.
“Unless something shifts, I think there will be a significant disruption in the hospitality industry over the fall,” a top union leader says.
