Hotel workers at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport -- the second-largest hotel in the county -- were blocked from the premises on days off, given reduced hours, put under surveillance and punished for participating in a union organizing drive, according to a complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board. The complaint alleges 40 violations of the National Labor Relations Act. It was filed Friday by Unite Here Local 11, a union that is aggressively trying to organize hotel workers nationwide and along the LAX corridor where 13 hotels don't have union contracts.
