President Joe Biden may join Las Vegas hotel workers on a picket line if they go on strike, as the politically influential Nevada Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and the Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino have until Monday to reach an agreement. Biden's commitment to join striking workers if they walk out aligns with his pro-union stance and could further bind him with workers in a key 2024 election battleground state.

Union Officials Claim Unhoused Migrants Replace Striking Hotel Workers in L.A.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office is investigating allegations that hotels in L.A. County are hiring unhoused refugees from a shelter on Skid Row to replace striking union workers, particularly in the housekeeping departments. The union representing the striking workers brought the issue to the attention of the District Attorney, citing poor working conditions for the migrants hired. Some refugees confirmed being hired at hotels where workers were striking, with reports of heavy workloads and long hours. The investigation will focus on the alleged employment of unhoused refugees and claims that some were among migrants bussed to L.A. by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

The Housing Crisis Fuels LA Hotel Workers' Strike

Hotel worker Brenda Mendoza's three-hour commute from Apple Valley to Los Angeles highlights the city's housing crisis, as rising rents have forced her and many others to live far from their workplaces. Striking hotel workers, represented by Unite Here Local 11, are proposing a hospitality workforce housing fund, which would charge a 7% fee on guest rooms to help workers with their housing costs. The fund could generate $150 million annually and potentially finance thousands of affordable housing units. However, hotels have rejected the proposal, arguing that securing housing for employees is not their responsibility. Experts believe industry-specific initiatives like this could become more common to address housing affordability.
