Honeymooners sue over Hawaii hotel workers strike
HONOLULU (AP) — A North Carolina couple booked a luxury Hawaii hotel for more than $2,000 but wasn't warned about that workers were on strike before they arrived for their honeymoon, they say in a class-action lawsuit.
Dr. Ovais Inamullah and Sana Khalique were charged full booking price for their five-night stay at The Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki, even though there was no housekeeping, valet parking and other services, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported . They arrived Oct. 29, when the strike was about to enter its fourth week.
The couple is suing on behalf of themselves and all other travelers who were guests at the affected hotels from Oct. 8, when thousands of Marriott employees on Oahu and Maui went on strike.
