L.A. Hotels Reach Tentative Labor Pact
By ALEX VEIGA

LOS ANGELES - Workers at seven hotels engaged in a 14-month labor contract dispute reached a tentative agreement early Saturday, averting a planned lockout, city and union officials announced.

The deal was reached minutes before a lockout scheduled at 5 a.m., said Maria Elena Durazo, president of Unite Here Local 11, the union that represents 2,500 employees of the seven hotels.

"We're grateful that the essential needs of those workers have been met," she said after a press conference at City Hall to announce the deal.

About 120 employees at one of the seven hotels went on strike Thursday, just hours before the contract had been set to expire. The strike prompted a vote by the hotel operators to lock out employees at all their hotels. <snip>
