(KRON) – The hotel workers of the San Francisco Marriott Marquis are the latest to join the Unite Here Local 2 union.  More than 500 SF Marriott Marquis hotel workers have walked off the job in protest on Sunday morning, according to the union. This strike had over 200 more employees than the last. A previous worker walkout occurred on Oct. 20 at San Francisco’s Palace Hotel, where 300 employees abruptly departed from work.  The protestors join the many San Francisco hotel workers who are members of Unite Here Local 2, including the Grand Hyatt San Francisco, Hilton San Francisco Union Square, Marriott Union Square, Palace Hotel and Westin St. Francis.  The strike was initially across 11 U.S. cities with more than 10,000 hotel workers on strike since Labor Day. Per the union, San Francisco is the only city where workers remain on strike. Over 100 gathered for Vallejo sideshow early Sunday morning: police “Hotel workers have made it clear that we won’t give up when our health care, our families, and the city we love are on the line," said the President of UNITE HERE Local 2 Lizzy Tapia. "San Francisco hotels have a choice to make. They can ‘Bet on SF’ by settling contracts that actually allow hotel workers to support our families and help rebuild our local tourism industry, or own the fact that they are driving business away.” The union is demanding higher wages, fair staffing and workloads and the reversal of COVID-era cuts. During the pandemic, the union said hotels cut staffing and suspended guest services that were never restored. This caused hotel workers to lose hours and increase their workload. According to the union, hotels have proposed phasing out workers’ union health care. Unite Here Local 2 members said they were warned that the hotel’s extreme negotiating positions threaten the city’s economic recovery.  With the addition of 500 protestors, the strike now has 2,500 hotel workers a part of the union. Jobs vary from housekeepers, bellhops, cooks, dishwashers, servers, bartenders, and more.
