Unite Here has documented at least six Los Angeles hotels that used staffing apps to replace striking workers during this month's walkouts.
Last week, the union filed an unfair labor practice (ULP) complaint with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against the Instawork platform – an app-based staffing company recently valued at more than $700 million.
The complaint says temporary staff scheduled through Instawork to work at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Report & Spa in Dana Point, a city in Southern California, had shifts canceled by the app when they joined a strike there.
