California’s lieutenant governor and other elected officials on Tuesday urged Taylor Swift to postpone her Los Angeles concerts as a way to stand in solidarity with striking hotel workers. Starting Thursday, Swift is scheduled to perform six sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood near Los Angeles, with some hotel properties doubling and tripling what they charge because she is coming. Unite Here Local 11, which represents some 30,000 hotel workers, is negotiating for better wages, improved health care benefits, higher pension contributions and less strenuous workloads. Contracts expired last month at more than 60 hotels, including properties owned by major chains such as Marriott and Hilton.
