Richmond hotel employees could be on the picket line soon after voting in favour of strike action to demand better wages.
Unionized workers at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport on Westminster Highway voted 88 per cent in favour of going on strike this weekend, claiming their wages are below those at other hotels.
The hotel workers, which include housekeepers, banquet staff, front-desk agents and the hotel's Starbucks food service workers, belong to UNITE HERE loc. 40.
They are seeking wage parity with comparable high-end hotels that they claim pay $5 more per hour.
Picket lines could go up any time after workers issue 72-hour strike notice.
