Three-Year Contract Settled for 700+ Anaheim Hilton Hotel Workers

On June 29, UNITE HERE Local 11 and the Anaheim Hilton hotel reached a contract agreement for continued family healthcare and pay raises for the 700 hotel workers. The contract was ratified in a vote of 272 to 3.
The contract includes a signing bonus for both tipped and non-tipped workers, as well as an assurance that the Anaheim Hilton will increase healthcare contributions to ensure that workers will continue to have access to family medical and dental care.
The Anaheim Hilton is less that one mile from the Grand Californian, Paradise Pier, and Disneyland hotels. If the Anaheim Hilton can extend healthcare and raises to its workers, then so can Disney. But instead, Disney is trying to impose changes that will increase the cost of healthcare for its workers. We must keep pressure on Disney so more victories like the one at the Anaheim Hilton can be ours!
