Housekeepers at a Marriott Hotel in Santa Monica are alleging that the hotel has been actively retaliating against employees who supported the successful Unite Here Local 11 unionization drive last November. According to a spokeswoman for Local 11, management withheld Christmas bonuses and took disciplinary action against employees in an attempt to discourage union participation. Workers were also bribed with better benefits to not become active in the union. Local 11 filed a complaint with the NLRB earlier this month, and a hearing date has been scheduled for April 3rd. The union says that a majority of housekeepers at the hotel have already pledged to strike.
