Hotel workers across the country are readying themselves for contract negotiations later this year, reports the Los Angeles Times. The reinvigorated Unite Here union will be pushing for better contracts in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Honolulu, New York and Toronto.

Negotiations will cover more than 50,000 employees at 400 hotels, according to Unite Here. Union leaders say the hotel business is doing so well that the profits should be shared. Analysts tell the paper that the hotels willing offer better pay up to a point, but will fight high pension and health insurance costs. Wall Street is very scared, they say, of those out-year commitments.

The Culinary’s contracts still have some time to run in Las Vegas but the last big struggle on the Strip involved a similar strategy to force the casinos to negotiate in Las Vegas and Atlantic City at the same time and face a possible strike, which would have squeezed the cash flow from all their major properties. That scheme did not go as planned but the Union won a pay increase and staved off big cuts in health benefits.
