UNION PICKETS MONTEREY HOTEL vs

A SAN FRANCISCO HOTEL LABOR DISPUTE SPREAD TO MONTEREY COUNTY OVER THE WEEKEND. ON SUNDAY UNION WORKERS (LOCKED OUT FROM 2 SAN FRANCISCO HYATT HOTELS) PICKETED IN FRONT OF THE MONTEREY HYATT REGENCY. THE MONTEREY HOTEL SENT SOME NON-UNION EMPLOYEES TO SAN FRANCISCO, TO HELP OUT DURING THE STRIKE. UNION WORKERS CAME TO MONTEREY TO PROTEST THE MOVE, AND GET THEIR MESSAGE OUT. THEY SAY THE FIGHT IS OVER ELIMINATING MEDICAL BENEFITS FOR MORE THAN A THOUSAND WORKERS. A NEW SESSION BETWEEN UNION AND HOTEL OFFICIALS IS SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY. SUNDAY'S PICKET LINE OF ABOUT 20 PEOPLE DID NOT AFFECT BUSINESS OR SERVICE AT THE MONTEREY HYATT.
