A pension trust fund for a hotel workers’ union sued the owner of New York’s Roosevelt Hotel for more than $24 million in federal court on Wednesday, claiming the company owes withdrawal liability after permanently ceasing covered operations under the plan.

After 20 months without a single guest in its more than 1,000 rooms, the Hyatt Grand Central in Midtown Manhattan is now sold out on weekends through the end of the year.

Eric Adams is the next mayor of New York City. He has already staked out big ambitions, announcing in September his plan to convert hotels into 25,000 units of supportive housing for people exiting homelessness. It’s something the city, struggling with near record-high homelessness among single adults, desperately needs.
