Around 10,000 U.S. hotel workers have indeed gone on strike in multiple cities, including San Francisco, San Diego, Honolulu, Boston, Seattle, and Greenwich. The strike began after contract talks with major hotel operators like Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt stalled.
The Unite Here union is demanding better wages and working conditions, citing increased travel and staffing cuts since the pandemic. As the Labor Day holiday continues, more cities are expected to join the strike, and workers are urging travelers to cancel their stays at the affected hotels.

Over 17,000 AT&T workers in the Southeast are currently on strike. The strike began due to disputes over contract negotiations, with workers accusing AT&T of unfair labor practices1. The Communications Workers of America (CWA) union represents these employees, and the strike spans nine states, including Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.
The strike has led to concerns about potential service disruptions, especially in areas like Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe counties. Union leaders have warned that the strike could impact repair times and essential services4.
