TRAVEL AGENT CENTRAL: U.S. Hotel Workers are Once Again on Strike

In the shadow of the Hollywood Bowl, hotel workers at the Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Hollywood started a picket line at 6 a.m. local time today. The 160-room property, owned by RLJ Lodging Trust and operated by Aimbridge Hospitality, expected high occupancy this weekend for one of the last Hollywood Bowl concerts of the year.

In Philadelphia, workers at the Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District hotel—also owned by RLJ Lodging Trust and operated by Aimbridge—walked off the job earlier today, just ahead of the Thanksgiving travel season.
