Today, Senate President Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven) released the following statement regarding the end of the strike of over 100 workers at Omni New Haven Hotel:
“As a proud supporter of labor and someone who has joined you on the picket lines, I want to extend my profound congratulations to all the hotel workers for standing strong and achieving this critical victory. Your perseverance and unity have won wage increases that will improve not just your livelihoods, but the well-being of your families and communities. The agreement with Omni should set a standard for hotels in the New Haven area. This is a powerful reminder that when workers stand together, real progress happens.”
