UNITE-HERE workers at two Hyatt hotels in the Monterey California area have reached agreement on a new contract calling for up to $5.21 an hour in additional wages and benefits over the life o the contract. Last week UNITE-HERE members in fifteen cities used civil disobedience protests at Hyatt hotels as part of a campaign for justice for Hyatt workers. This year contracts for 45,000 UNITE-HERE hotel workers expire nationwide.
