The Argentine icon and his new teammates have been urged to stay away from one Los Angeles hotel with striking workers asking the legend for his solidarity in their fight for better pay
Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates have been encouraged to avoid staying at a hotel in Santa Monica ahead of the team’s clash with LAFC.
Striking employees from the Fairmont Miramar have joined thousands of fellow hotel workers in the Los Angeles area as they seek better wages. According to Unite Here Local 11 – the union representing the workers – employees were allegedly “violent attacked” by security staff from the hotel last month.
Clips released by the union show what appears to be the alleged attacks taking place. In the caption of the video released on Unite Here Local 11’s Twitter account, the union issued a defiant message following the events which are purported to have taken place on August 6.
They stated: “Today â¦â¦Fairmont Miramar security officers attacked striking workers at their hotel. Our members won’t give in to bully tactics at the negotiating table or the picket line.”
