The Oakwood prom will now be held Saturday at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, a union-recommended hotel that has agreed to negotiate its union contract next year.
"I believe that the success of this boycott is a huge step toward raising the standard of living for workers across the country, a chance to improve greatly the plight of working class people in Los Angeles," said senior student Elizabeth Landesberg.
The students are encouraging other schools to pull their proms from the hotels involved in the labor dispute. The other hotels are the Westin Century Plaza, Sheraton Universal, Hyatt Regency Los Angeles, Hyatt Regency West Hollywood, Regent Beverly Wilshire, Westin Bonaventure and Wilshire Grand.
