Hospitality Sector Strategies

Hotel Jobs Update

Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership works with employers and unions to improve recruitment, retention, and advancement of hospitality sector employees.

The San Francisco Hotels Partnership Project brings together two powerful forces in the Bay Area--the hospitality industry and Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Local 2.

The Culinary Union Training Center (CUTC) is a single-union, multi-employer, labor-management partnership that covers nearly 50,000 unionized workers in Las Vegas.

New Publication

Significant job growth in the hotel industry-including skyrocketing increases in Mississippi and Nevada-poses important policy concerns for unions and their allies. A new WAI study focuses on changes in the industry with a special focus on jobs, wages, union representation, geographic composition, business organization and competition since 1979. The study also offers policy recommendations on how to improve the industry. For the latest data on hotel employment, see Hotel Jobs Update below. (See Press Release)
