After trying to hash out an agreement with their company for six days, workers with Local 1306 are on strike.
Ron Arseneau is the Union Griever for Delta Brunswick and Brunswick Square and tells us they took to the picket line at 8am Saturday Morning.
Arseneau says the strike affects the whole Brunswick Square Complex as well as the parking garage and includes everyone from maintenance workers to restaurant servers.
Arseneau says their housekeepers are doing 16 rooms a day for 10.86 an hour, and with minimum wage going up, that has to change.
He says the union is open to talks at all times and they’re hoping the strike won’t last long, but says it’s up to the company.
