Los Angeles hotel workers Wednesday called for a boycott of nine luxury hotels as contentious labor contract talks continue.

The Unite Here union said elected officials, community groups and clergy have vowed to honor the request to avoid eating, meeting or sleeping at targeted hotels.

Hotels affected by the boycott are the Millennium Biltmore, Bonaventure, Hyatt Regency, Wilshire Grand, Regent Beverly Wilshire, Century Plaza, St. Regis, Hyatt West Hollywood, and the Sheraton Universal.

San Francisco hotels locked out about 4,000 workers after the Unite Here union ended a two-week strike last month - a decision that escalated a contract conflict seen as a bellwether for the industry.

The San Francisco hotel group includes properties from brands operated by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Four Seasons Hotels, Hyatt, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Hilton Hotels and Omni Hotels.
