The Unite Here Local 11 union, which represents thousands of SoCal hospitality workers who are in the midst of a strike seeking higher wages and improved benefits, are calling for Taylor Swift to postpone her upcoming series of SoFi Stadium concerts.
Members of the Unite Here Local 11 union initially walked off the job on July 2, continuing their picketing through the Fourth of July holiday. That first wave of picketing targeted 21 hotels involved in contract negotiations with the union.
The workers represented by the union include cooks, room attendants, dishwashers, servers, bellmen and front desk agents. The union "has not budged from its opening demand two months ago of up to a 40% wage increase and an over 28% increase in benefit costs. From the outset, the union has shown no desire to engage in productive, good faith negotiations with this group," the reps said in a previous statement.
