Big Win for Hotel Housekeepers in Santa Monica!
A Le Merigot worker shares a story as part of a “Service in the Streets” in 2018.
Five years into a bitter fight to secure a contract, hotel housekeepers at Le Merigot have reached a historic agreement that offers living wages, family health insurance, and pension benefits.
Benefits like these are increasingly rare. Every worker deserves them.
Clergy and community members from across Los Angeles supported the mostly female/Latina workers throughout the process, holding prayer vigils and protests, accompanying workers as they met with managers, and more.
This news is breaking, and we look forward to sharing more. Until then, thank you to EVERYONE who played a part in supporting this campaign for dignity and justice!
