Best Western Plus employees in Windsor walked off the job early Sunday.
Members of Unifor Local 195 started strike action at 12:01 a.m. to fight for fair wages and to improve working conditions.
"Unifor members at Best Western Plus deserve wages that reflect the value they bring to the hospitality sector and respect for the hard work they do every day," said Unifor National President Lana Payne. "Instead of seeking to improve working conditions, the employer has demanded concessions."
The union said it is calling on the employer to return to the bargaining table with an offer that addresses wages and withdraws concessions.
"Hotel workers should not be asked to accept less while the hospitality industry continues to recover and grow," said Unifor Ontario Regional Director Samia Hashi. "This strike is about protecting decent work and dignity for every worker who makes this hotel run."
Nearly 40 workers are represented by Unifor Local 195 in guest services, housekeeping and maintenance at the hotel.
