More than a thousand hotel workers and their supporters marched through downtown San Francisco on Monday, September 7th, to demand a fair contract in their ongoing negotiations with the city's hotels, among them the Hyatt Regency and Le Meridien.

The Unite Here! Local 2 march started at the Embarcadero Hyatt to draw attention to the refusal by Hyatt to allow a fair process that would allow the workers at the Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf to have union representation. The march proceeded to HEI Le Meridien that is also a non-union hotel in the heart of downtown. A major concern of the Local 2 workers is the history of Hyatt in aggressively demanding health care cuts. This is from a company whose president and CEO made $6.7 million last year.
