San Francisco Hotel Workers End Strike Sunday



SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS)  -- Hotel workers in San Francisco ended their strike Sunday against the Grand Hyatt hotel in Union Square.

Hundreds of members of the Unite Here Local 2 say hotel management is proposing unreasonable reductions in health and retirement benefits.

Officials with the Grand Hyatt San Francisco released a statement saying that they were disappointed that "after only five bargaining sessions the union had decided to engage in disruptive and counterproductive action instead of trying to achieve progress at the negotiating table."

The union represents about 12,000 employees in the hospitality industry in San Francisco and on the Peninsula, including room cleaners, cooks, food servers, bellmen, bartenders and dishwashers.

Negotiations are set to resume on Thursday.
