Legendary West Hollywood hotel Chateau Marmont has reached an agreement with its workers to recognize their union, spelling the end of a boycott at the celebrity playground that included protests and a picket line outside Jay-Z’s annual Oscars party.
UNITE HERE Local 11, the union representing the lodging’s staff, announced the deal on Thursday and said employees will soon begin negotiating their first contract. Signed by hotelier André Balazs and Local 11 co-president Kurt Petersen, the agreement states the parties “have reached an understanding that will allow the hotel to return to its normal level of operations.”
“All prior disputes have been laid to rest,” the document says, before concluding, “We believe that it solidifies the foundation of the Chateau’s historic success: the commitment to its guests and employees, both of which are famous for their loyalty and longevity.”
