Workers at the Aimbridge-operated Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort went on strike Wednesday, and the union has said workers at other Aimbridge-operated properties might follow as early as this weekend. The union this week ramped up pressure in contract negotiations with hotels operated by Aimbridge, which has faced sharp criticism from union officials and others for hiring unhoused refugees from Venezuela and Colombia to replace workers during recent strikes targeting at least two hotels it operates, the Holiday Inn Los Angeles - LAX Airport and the Hilton Pasadena. The union has sharply criticized the hotels and filed complaints with the National Labor Relations Board.
Hotel Maya in Long Beach is among several hotels where violence had flared against workers on the picket line.
