Media Articles on Law Firm Workers at Luxury S.F. Hotels Reach Contract Deal Marin Independent Journal SAN FRANCISCO – After three months of negotiation, management and workers at 11 of San Francisco’s biggest luxury hotels reached accord on a five-year labor contract yesterday. The agreements include 3 to 5 percent annual wage increases and higher pension benefits for room cleaners, dishwashers and other workers. Under yesterday’s agreement, the lowest-paid workers – dishwashers and room cleaners – will reap the most benefits. About 4,000 union members will vote Thursday on ratifying the pact. The agreement comes after a Labor Day strike threat from the
union and after demonstrations that resulted in arrests. |
