Taylor Swift has proved to be a hot commodity, not just to her fans but also to the American economy. As a result, the music icon’s support is being sought by local hotel workers union Unite Here Local 11 in its strike for better wages and against “junk fees,” extra charges added on to room rates that go to the companies, not the workers.
“We want Taylor Swift to postpone her upcoming concert until our employers agree to a fair wage and our demands that we have already requested for over a month, or past the deadline of our contract,” said Alaink Kemple, personal concierge at the Waldorf Astoria in Los Angeles.
The singer-songwriter was featured in Time magazine’s 2017 Person of the Year issue, which dubbed several women pushing for change (including prominent voices in the #MeToo movement) as “Silence Breakers,” alongside hotel employees Juana Melara and Sandra Pezqueda.
