LOS ANGELES — In the latest wave of Southern California's rolling hotel strike, workers at eight properties near Los Angeles International Airport walked off the job Friday morning. The hotels include Four Points by Sheraton, Sheraton Gateway, Hyatt Regency LAX Airport and Westin Los Angeles Airport Inn. Friday's work stoppage came in response to a tense bargaining session Wednesday between a group of Southern California hotels and Unite Here Local 11. Unite Here Local 11 represents about 15,000 cooks, housekeepers, dishwashers, servers, bellmen and front desk agents at some 60 hotels in Los Angeles and Orange counties who have been conducting intermittent strikes over the past three months.
