Workers at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown walked off the job Sunday morning.
The workers, represented by UNITE HERE Local 274, are demanding wages and benefits in line with the new citywide standard, which has been secured at five unionized Center City hotels.
According to the union, the standard includes minimum wages of $30 per hour for non-tipped workers by January 2028, a daily quota of 15 rooms for housekeeping workers, an 18% banquet gratuity and more.
The strike comes as the city sees an influx of visitors for the FIFA World Cup and as America 250 events get underway.
