The Sun-Times reports on the strike of 100 employees of the Congress Plaza Hotel, which started a year ago in part to protest a wage cut. Since the strike started, 30 workers have opted to return to their jobs, the hotel has lost more than $1 million as a result of the strike, and the two sides are no closer to a settlement than they were a year ago.
