Hotel Frank Weekly Three-Dot Report (#13)

Subsequent to our SF Pension Fund action on May 9, the hotel agreed to pay for health care for Hotel Frank workers for the month of June. That is a good thing, but AEW and Provenance still owe a million dollars in health care and pension payments for the last two years, and need to agree to keep paying past June -- and restore our contract, and put fired workers back to work. The fight goes on...

Here is Bill Carpenter's video of the May 9 action:

Thank you, Bill!

We surprised the Hotel Frank bosses with a special wakeup call at 7am on Memorial Day - Monday, May 28. Get ready, AEW and Provenance, for more surprises!

Hotel Frank was auctioned off in a foreclosure sale in May, 2010 by WELLS FARGO.
The bank then sold the hotel to a financial speculator called AEW CAPITAL MANAGEMENT.
The hotel is now managed by a company called PROVENANCE.
(But ask again tomorrow...)

Since the foreclosure sale:

• Management refuses to recognize the Union contract that existed for nearly 40 years.
• The hotel did not pay one penny for medical coverage or pensions for almost two years.
• We all have to work an extra half-hour per day for free.
• Room cleaners clean many more rooms, even if it means skipping breaks and meal periods.
• Staffing has been cut at the front desk and in housekeeping, while the workload has increased.
• A federal judge has found the hotel guilty of firing and disciplining workers for Union activities
