Thanks to the Labor Video Project for this post and video.
It should be noted, however, that AEW sold Hotel Metropolis and Hotel Vertigo to another hotel operator. The new owners at Hotel Metropolis have fully restored the UNITE HERE Local 2 contract, and the hotel is no longer under boycott. Hotel Vertigo has never been Union, and remains pre-Union. I was never a Shop Steward at Hotel Frank. However, I was about to become one when I was summarily fired. |
