"Inside the Oak Room at the St. Francis Hotel I found a jubilant scene this morning as staff celebrated a tentative Marriott contract after roughly two months on strike; Nicholas Javier, a server there and a member of Unite Here Local 2’s bargaining committee, said, “I feel comfortable saying we reached a place that feels fair to all of our basic, core demands,” added “We’re stronger now than ever,” and said he’s happy to get back to work — “I’m looking forward to going back to my restaurant — it’s like our second home.”" - Caleb Pershan
