One of the worst side effects of the Covid times has been companies attempting to continue to do with less paying work for workers even after the economy came back online.

From AP via ABC:

“Some 10,000 hotel workers represented by UNITE HERE union union walked off the job Sunday at 24 hotels in eight cities, including Honolulu, Boston, San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego and Seattle. They remained on strike Monday, and hotel workers in other cities could join in the coming days as contract talks stall over demands for higher wages and a reversal of service and staffing cuts.”
