US-WORKERS-HOTEL-LOAN

Laid-off employees and workers with Unite Here 11 protest outside the closed Four Points by Sheraton LAX hotel as they call for an investigation by the US Small Business Administration (SBA) into the use of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan funds on April 7, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. - Laid-off hospitality workers allege that the hotel owner received PPP loans meant to keep workers employed during the Covid-19 pandemic totaling over $4 million but closed the hotel on Feb. 5, a week after a second PPP load was approved. The Four Points by Sheraton brand is part of the Marriott International, Inc. brand portfolio of hotels and resorts that is licensed to franchisees globally. (Photo by Patrick T.
