Who is Local 11?

Primarily representing hotel workers in Southern California, Local 11’s primary goal is to expand its membership rolls and increase dues revenue—by any means necessary. To that end, the union favors large development projects and mounts raucous organizing campaigns to gain a firmer foothold in the region.

An affiliate of the international UNITE HERE union—which represents 270,000 workers across North America—Local 11 claims it fights for “improved living standards and working conditions.”
