Three weeks before the G20 summit, workers at 32 hotels across Toronto have voted to authorize a strike if negotiations break down.

“There have been a lot of cuts to both shifts and services that are really having an impact on both workers and hotel guests,” Cicely Phillips, a Royal York room attendant and vice-president of Unite Here Local 75, said earlier.

The union represents 5,500 workers at hotels including the Fairmont Royal York, Le Royal Meridien King Edward and the Hyatt Regency.

The summit will be in Toronto on June 26-27.

1. Good for them

Hotel corporations are really now just real estate holding companies and could care less about the guest, much less employees.
