Speaker Menin Applauds Hotel Workers and Industry for Reaching Contract Agreement

"Congratulations to the members of the New York Hotel and Gaming Trades Council and to the hotel industry for reaching an agreement on a new contract for workers. After years of fighting for our city's hotel workers, I know they're some of the hardest-working individuals in New York, and they're truly on the front lines of ensuring we remain a top tourist destination.

"From well-deserved wage increases to a strengthened benefits package - including a first-of-its-kind childcare and housing fund - what the union has achieved in this contract ensures their members' ongoing stability and future. I also want to thank the hotel industry for their leadership and the important role they play in New York's economic vitality."
