“Workers are telling us hiring anybody, people who have no hotel experience at all, rather than bring back the former employees, who voted for a union,” Matt de Marchi said, a Unite Here Local 40 spokesperson.

Although no one was available for an interview on Friday, a Westmont Hospitality Group spokesperson said the company just “owns the property” and has nothing to do with the management of the hotel.Upon hearing the response, Unite Here Local 40 had some choice words.
