San Francisco Mayor London Breed has released the following statement: "I'm happy that Local 2 and Marriott have reached a tentative agreement to end the hotel workers strike here in San Francisco. In this time of rising inequality, it is crucial that our workers are able to earn a fair wage that allows them to live and support their families in the increasingly expensive Bay Area. I am proud to have supported the workers as they fought for better wages, healthcare, and job security. I want to thank both sides of the negotiations for coming together to reach an agreement."
