Union-Friendly Hotels

W Hotel, a Union-Supported Hotel

Meeting professionals who plan union meetings often end up in Los Angeles, a city built by union labor. LA’s world-class buildings — Walt Disney Concert Hall, STAPLES Center, L.A. LIVE and the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels — were all built by the city’s union labor.

Three hundred and fifty local unions and more than 800,000 members make up LA’s strong union presence, making it an ideal city for union-specific meetings and conventions. Prominent LA unions include the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, UNITE HERE and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) Los Angeles.

“We are home to many of the most high-profile unions in the country. Look at our entertainment industry. Actors, directors, writers and the crew — all union members,” says Michael Krouse, LA INC.’s Senior President, Sales.

A new union-focused directory, LA Labor 411, showcases the vast number of union-made goods and services in Los Angeles. Categories include hospitality, healthcare services, banking, professional services and much more (visit www.LALabor411.com).

With such a solid union foundation, LA naturally attracts meetings with a union focus. “LA INC. is committed to booking union meetings, conferences, training sessions and annual conventions,” notes Krouse. “With so many union businesses, and more than 30 union hotels in Los Angeles, the perfect match is created.”

Union hotels in Los Angeles offer some 14,000 rooms that employ UNITE HERE members. LA INC. itself supports its 27 union-led hotel members, which are included as follows:
