Hyatt Paris: outsourced hotel housekeepers strike and win wage increase

Outsourced hotel housekeepers at the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme have won an important wage increase bringing pay into line with other luxury hotels following a four-day strike for better wages and working conditions begun on September 19, the IUF-affiliated FSCS-CGT has announced.

The agreement covers 80 hotel housekeepers, porters and maintenance staff and brings monthly wage increases from 380 to 420 euros (USD 487 to 538).

Negotiations with the management of Hyatt Paris Madeleine, where workers also walked off the job, are still ongoing.
