But for many hotel workers in L.A., Swifts boost to the industry isnt cause for celebration.
(Members of the WGA havealso stoodwith hotel workers on the picket line to show their support.)
One of the main reasons is, were asking for the respect from management, Herrera told Vulture.
Meanwhile, employees are struggling to survive on stagnating wages as living expenses rise.
The union requested a $5-per-hour wage increase; management offered 75 cents, he said.
I love what she represents … she stands up for whats right.
I feel like were really fighting for respect, and hopefully, you know, get what we deserve.
The Swiftie hopes Swift listens to what were saying and hopefully stands up with us.
Swift gave her Eras Tour truck drivers a $100,000 bonus,according toUSA Today.
Also among the striking workers is Ricardo Cortez, who works in housekeeping at a Los Angelesarea hotel.
Cortez also told Vulture: Give us a chance to fight for a good contract.
A better contract would help them support us, our families.
Politicians in California have called for a postponement as well.
Hotel workers are fighting for their lives.
They are fighting for a living wage.
They have gone on strike.
Stand with hotel workers and postpone your concerts.
Swifts rep did not respond to Vultures request for comment.
In other words: Theres precedent here for Swift to do some vigilante shit rather than be an anti-hero.
