Baltimore hotel workers hold first strike in decades at city-owned Hilton

Hotel workers walked out of the city-owned downtown Hilton hotel Monday for a daylong Labor Day strike demanding better pay and better working conditions, making it the first strike in 54 years at any hotel in Baltimore. Baltimore Unite Here Local 7 represents about 200 workers at the hotel. The action follows similar protests in eight cities across the country on Sunday as contract negotiations have stalled for hotel workers demanding higher wages and better working conditions.
