A rabbi and a professor at American Jewish University were among 63 people arrested for civil disobedience on the Sunset Strip during rush hour on Thursday , July 22. The labor protest against the Hyatt chain of hotels took place in front of the Andaz hotel near La Cienega Boulevard in West Hollywood. The Los Angeles County Sheriff Department made the arrests just before 7 p.m. at the end of a two-hour demonstration in support of hotel workers’ rights.
