“Congratulations to the members of the New York Hotel and Gaming Trades Council and to the hotel industry for reaching an agreement on a new contract for workers. After years of fighting for our city’s hotel workers, I know they’re some of the hardest-working individuals in New York, and they’re truly on the front lines of ensuring we remain a top tourist destination.

“From well-deserved wage increases to a strengthened benefits package — including a first-of-its-kind childcare and housing fund — what the union has achieved in this contract ensures their members’ ongoing stability and future. I also want to thank the hotel industry for their leadership and the important role they play in New York’s economic vitality.”
