Employees at eight LAX-area hotels – the Four Points, Marriott, Renaissance, Embassy Suites, Courtyard, Westin, Hilton and Radisson – filed class action lawsuits in Los Angeles Superior Court. The complaints, filed September 5, 2007, charge the hotels with violating a recently enacted city law requiring LAX area hotels to pay to their employees all tips and services fees collected on their behalf. Despite the law, the hotels have continued to pocket the fees that they are collecting on behalf of their employees.
