Los Angeles Investigates Hotels That Allegedly Replaced Striking Workers with Vulnerable Migrants
Franchise owners of a Sheraton, Holiday Inn and Le Meridien hotels are accused of hiring migrants from homeless shelters to replace employees protesting work conditions
Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón is investigating labor conditions at hotels that have allegedly recruited unhoused migrants as workers while its own employees are on strike.
“We take these egregious allegations with the utmost seriousness,” District Attorney Gascón said in a statement Monday.
Three hotels near the city’s international airport — Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Le Meridien Delfina and Holiday Inn LAX — reportedly hired asylum seekers who were staying in a homeless shelter, according to The Los Angeles Times. Many of the migrants are from countries including Venezuela and were put on buses to California by Texas Governor Greg Abbott this year, according to the local hospitality workers union, Unite Here Local 11.
