Universal Hilton Workers Ratify their First Union Contract

Congratulations to the workers of the Universal Hilton, who ratified their first union contract at 100%! With this incredible new contract, workers go from paying 100% for their health insurance to only paying 20% and the company pays the rest. Workers also won a pension and access to the legal fund. And housekeepers will continue to benefit from the Hotel Worker Protection and the Worker Retention ordinances Local 11 helped pass, capping workloads to 8 rooms per shift and protecting them from losing their jobs.

Support Pregnant Women at the Long Beach Yacht Club

Two workers at the Long Beach Yacht Club filed complaints with the California Civil Rights Department for the alleged sex-based harassment the two mothers endured while working at the Yacht Club. Both allege that the private club failed to respond appropriately to repeated complaints of sex-based harassment, specifically against pregnant women, that took place over the course of multiple years at the private club.

Victory at the Anaheim Hilton

Over at the Anaheim Hilton the company was holding on to the server’s and bartender’s cash tips and adding them to their paychecks every two weeks. But those tips belonged to the workers who should have access to the money the moment they are tipped. The workers took it to arbitration and won the right to keep their tips and not have to wait two weeks before receiving the money. Sí se pudo!

Fair Games Coalition To Protest LACMA Opening, Demand Accountability from LA28 Chair Casey Wasserman 

 Coalition to Release “LA28 Files” Raising Questions About Leadership, Governance, and Transparency

WHO: Fair Games Coalition members to flyer and banner outside LACMA’s David Geffen Galleries grand opening calling on LACMA Board member & Chairperson and President of LA28 Casey Wasserman

 

WHAT: Educate the public and inform eventgoers about LACMA and LA28 leadership and unveil LA28 Files.

 

WHEN: Saturday April 18, 2026 |  5pm-8pm 

 

WHERE: LACMA 5905 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036

 

Los Angeles: Nearly 20 years in the making and $720 million dollars later, the LACMA David Geffen Galleries will be opening soon. Several LA28 Board members sit on the LACMA Board, including LA28 President and Chairperson Casey Wasserman, billionaire owner of the Milwaukee Brewers Mark Attanasio, and co-founder of the soon-to-open Lucas Museum of Narrative Art Mellody Hobson.  Members of the Fair Games coalition made up of community advocates, workers, housing and immigration organizations will gather to raise urgent questions about leadership, governance, and transparency surrounding the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games (LA28). 

The protest will highlight recently surfaced revelations  about LA28 Chairperson Casey Wasserman, including reported connections between LA28 leadership and influential political and business figures, as well as broader questions about accountability in publicly connected institutions overseeing the Games. The Coalition will release the “LA28 Files” — a new report documenting these concerns and calling for greater transparency from an organization managing billions in public-connected resources. 

The Fair Games coalition has called on Casey Wasserman to resign. Last December, the Fair Games Coalition –  including UNITE HERE Local 11, LAANE, CLUE and dozens of labor, community and immigrant rights groups— was the first to call on Casey Wasserman to resign as Chair of LA28 after LA28 appointed Trump acolytes Kevin McCarthy, Diane Hendricks, Reince Priebus, Patrick Dumont, and Ken Moelis to its board.  The coalition also condemned Wasserman’s kowtowing to Trump on security, undermining confidence in the Games’ independence and integrity.
