Picketing continued Monday at two major Hilton hotels in Boston as the UNITE HERE Local 26 union continued its strike there in an effort to get higher pay, pension increases, better benefits and manageable workloads.
Hundreds of Hilton hotel workers in Boston who have been on strike for weeks have reached a tentative agreement on a new deal.
UNITE HERE Local 26 said Tuesday night that an agreement was in place to end the strike if members vote to ratify the contract Thursday afternoon.
The union says about 765 workers at four Hilton properties in the Boston area had been on strike for 24 days when the deal was reached.
Pending ratification, about 600 of those workers will return to their jobs at 4 a.m. Friday.
Union workers at Omni hotels also reached a deal to end their strike, unanimously ratifying it last Sunday.
The union did not immediately share specific details of the Hilton workers' agreement.
