LOS ANGELES—Striking hotel workers and their supporters, numbering in the thousands, marched through downtown Los Angeles on Oct. 25 in the union’s largest single-day labor action since rotating work stoppages began in early July.
Participants in the march organized by Unite Here Local 11 gathered Wednesday morning at Pershing Square, and the crowd quickly swelled, with many people being dropped off by buses. In a statement Tuesday, union officials said the march would include workers from 50 hotels, although it was unclear exactly how many different hotels were actually impacted.
