Hotel workers at Baltimore Marriott Waterfront get raises through newly ratified contract

Hotel workers at Baltimore Marriott Waterfront in Harbor East will get their first raises in more than two years and improved workplace rights under a newly ratified contract, the workers’ union announced Tuesday. The contract ends a labor dispute that started more than a year and a half ago. Under the collective bargaining agreement, the first full union contract since the food and beverage workers organized at the hotel in 2019, non-tipped workers get immediate hourly wage increases that range from $1.56 to $2.76, the union, Unite Here Local 7, said Tuesday.
