Workers at the Four Points Sheraton located near the Los Angeles Airport are calling for a boycott against the hotel. Jesse Russell reports:

Represented by UNITE-HERE, the workers are alleging that the hotel is refusing to negotiate in good faith and has actively sought to stop the newly established union from improving working conditions. In September of 2007, the workers officially became unionized and for the past five months have been seeking to establish a new contract. The hotel representatives, according to the union, have only attended four negotiation sessions. Currently, the workers at Four Points have no retirement plans and little access to affordable healthcare. Workers have also alleged that the hotel often overworks employees and offers no job security.
