PASADENA, Calif.—Cooks, room attendants, and other workers at the Hilton Pasadena and Hyatt Place Pasadena hotels walked off the job at dawn Dec. 31 as Pasadena gets ready to host the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game on New Year’s Day, union officials said.

Workers across Los Angeles hotels have been engaged in ongoing labor disputes with employers since July, in what the Unite Here Local 11 union calls the largest hotel worker strike in modern history.
