The plaintiff is Unite Here Local 11, the Southern California chapter of a 270,000 strong labor union. Wanda Group is one of the leading Chinese multinational conglomerates.

The complaint comes on the heels of a long-running clash between the Hilton and Wanda over the issue of developing a property adjacent to the hotel. Hilton wants to build a 37-storey condo on the land while Wanda is looking to start a boutique 134-room hotel, along with 193 condos. Eventually, a ballot was carried out, asking voters to indicate their choice. The labor union contends that Wanda is using money to influence the ballot.

According to Deadline, a spokesman for the Fair Political Practices Commission said that they do not have any record of the complaint. Meanwhile, Wanda Group has described the accusation "frivolous."

According to Yahoo, Wanda claims that Union did not carry out any conversations with the company about potentially representing the workers at its new hotel. The union had opposed the Wanda projects on account of traffic concerns in a letter sent to the city. It also spoke against the project at the Beverly Hills Planning Commission.

The polling for the issue is expected to take place in November.
