UNITE HERE Local 23 issued a travel alert on July 22, 2025, for the Hilton Americas-Houston, warning that the hotel is 'At Risk' of a labor dispute if a new union contract settlement is not reached. The workers' union contract expired on June 30, and dozens of workers picketed the downtown Houston hotel on July 17, demanding fair wages.
The union's site, FairHotel.org, has changed the status of the Hilton Americas-Houston to 'At Risk' of future labor conflict, including additional picket lines and worker actions. This alert aims to inform travelers about potential disruptions and allow them to make informed decisions about their stays.
Workers are calling for wages of at least $23 an hour, citing that despite Houston breaking records last year for visitors and hotel revenue, hospitality workers are struggling to pay bills. UNITE HERE Local 23 represents Houston hospitality workers at several properties, with contracts expiring between October 1 and December 1 of this year.
