Hotel Workers Solidarity Updates
Lockout at 14 San Francisco Hotels
Revolution at the Palace: 11/13 at 5:30 p.m., Market & Montgomery
Rally & Picket: 11/20 at 11 a.m., Union Square
Flying Picket: 11/21 at 7 p.m., Powell & Geary
On 11/07, Local 2 hotel workers took the struggle to the Monterey Hyatt, one of many sources of scab labor for the locked-out hotels. Local 2 formed a picket line for one day, and most workers stayed home, refusing to cross the picket line. The Falluja protest in San Francisco on 11/09 was also a solidarity protest for the locked out hotel workers; the march went past several hotels and the crowd chanted in support of the workers getting a contract. Photos On 11/07, dozens of San Franciscans took to the streets as part of a "flying picket" in solidarity with locked-out hotel workers, expanding the picket lines and giving scabs a proper San Francisco "not-welcome."

4,000 hotel workers are locked-out of the Argent Hotel, Crowne Plaza Union Square, Fairmont San Francisco, Four Seasons San Francisco, Grand Hyatt, Hilton San Francisco, Holiday Inn Civic Center, Holiday Inn Express (FW), Holiday Inn Fisherman's Wharf, Hyatt Regency San Francisco, Mark Hopkins InterContinental, Omni San Francisco Hotel, Sheraton Palace Hotel, and Westin St. Francis hotels. UNITE HERE Local 2 is negotiating to maintain fair wages, pensions, and comprehensive health care for workers and their families. Labor page
