Why U.S. hotels are missing more than 238,000 employees
LA TimesStriking hotel workers protest outside the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown hotel. The distrust toward new technologies and cost-saving measures could ultimately help spark the Culinary Workers Union’s first citywide strike in almost four decades. Hotels While the Culinary Workers Union’s latest contract already included protections such as free retraining when new technologies were introduced, not all hospitality workers in Las Vegas are unionized. “If we weren’t here, Las Vegas wouldn’t exist,” said LaDonna Teeters, 59, a unionized bartender who’s spent 27 years at Park MGM. Customer satisfaction is oftentimes directly linked to staffing levels, and new hotels — like the one Fontainebleau is opening later this year in Las Vegas — will offer thousands of fresh job opportunities.
