Boston Hotel Workers Strike Indefinitely

Boston's hotel workers have initiated an indefinite strike, marking a significant escalation after previous three-day strikes failed to yield satisfactory results. The strike, which began with workers from two hotels, demanded better wages, reversal of staffing cuts made during the COVID-19 crisis, and improved working conditions. More than 600 workers are involved, with the possibility of more joining if negotiations remain stalled, showcasing a united front against management's current offers.

This industrial action underscores the tension between labor and hotel management over how to distribute the benefits of economic recovery. Workers argue that while the industry has rebounded, with hotels making record profits, their wages have not kept pace with inflation or the increased workload due to reduced staffing levels. 

The indefinite nature of the strike suggests a deepening resolve among workers to secure a fair deal, potentially influencing labor relations in the hospitality industry nationwide.
