More than 10,000 hotel workers at 24 hotels across the United States have gone on strike, affecting travel during the Labor Day weekend. The hotels are still open but with a reduced staff, leading to limited services for guests. The striking workers are demanding better pay and improved working conditions, including the return of daily room cleaning services that were discontinued during the pandemic. The union representing the workers states that the hotel industry is making significant profits while workers struggle to support their families. The strike involves hotels from Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott chains. The union has also threatened to expand the strike to more hotels in different cities.
