Aimbridge Hotel Workers Strike in Los Angeles and Philadelphia

Workers at Aimbridge-operated hotels in Los Angeles and Philadelphia began striking today, November 9, 2025, according to UNITE HERE, a hospitality workers’ union.

The strikes commenced during a busy weekend for the hospitality industry, impacting hotels in both cities. The labor action involves employees seeking improved wages, benefits, and working conditions. UNITE HERE represents over 300,000 workers across North America, advocating for better standards in the hotel, gaming, and food service sectors. This disruption comes as the hospitality industry continues to navigate post-pandemic recovery and labor shortages.

Details regarding specific demands weren’t immediately available, but the union stated the strikes are a response to stalled contract negotiations. “We are fighting for a fair return for our hard work and dedication,” a UNITE HERE spokesperson said in a statement. The strikes are intended to pressure Aimbridge Hospitality to return to the bargaining table and address worker concerns.
