Tentative agreements reached between hotel management and employees of the Beverly Hilton, Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills and the Beverly Wilshire on Dec. 8, Dec. 9 and Dec. 13, respectively, promise improved pay, benefits and working conditions while signaling the end of months of strategic work stoppages.
Representatives for Unite Here Local 11, the union representing housekeepers, front desk staff and restaurant employees at the three Beverly Hills hotels as well as thousands of other workers across Southern California, declined to immediately comment on the details of compensation and benefits offered in the agreements. The deals must be ratified by a majority of union members to be finalized. A date for a vote had not been set as of press time, Unite Here spokesperson Maria Hernandez told the Courier.
