Hotel workers launch a 3-day strike against the Grand Hyatt hotel, one of San Francisco's largest and most luxurious. The contract with the workers' union, UNITE HERE Local 2, expired in August, 2009. The luxury hotel chains demand that workers pay for health care benefits, and used the economic crisis to pressure for a multi-year agreement with no increases.
