DESCRIPTION:6/18 SF Picket To Defend Fired Union Housekeeper Esther Dominguez\n\nFired 
 Local 2 Esther Dominguez was supposed to have an arbitration on June 18, 
 2009 but the management cancelled it and want to starve her some more. 
 There will be a picket at the Grand Hyatt at Stockton and Sutter on 
 Thursday June 18 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the hotel\n\nRehire Esther 
 Dominguez Now! \nStop Harassing & Firing SF Hotel Workers \nInformational 
 Picket \nJune 18th (Thursday), 2009 \n3:00 PM to 5:00 PM \nAt SF Grand 
 Hyatt \nStockton St. & Sutter St. \nSan Francisco \nSan Francisco hotel 
 owners are getting ready for a strike and are firing union activists who 
 are standing up\nfor the members. One of the Unite-Here Local 2 members who 
  has been recently terminated is Esther Dominguez\nwho worked as a 
 housekeeper at the Grand Hyatt on Union Square for over 33 years.  She was 
 fired on\nJanuary 31, 2009.\nShe was framed up and fired on fabricated 
 charges. Last year, she defended housekeepers at the \nhotel who had been 
 mistreated with their senority ignored and management did not forget her 
 act \nof solidarity. She was supposed to have an union arbitration on her 
 case on Thursday June 18 but the\nmanagement lawyers cancelled it and said 
 they were not "ready".  This means that Esther continues\nto be out of 
 work.\nAt the same time management has tried to arrest Esther for 
 peacefully picketing on the sidewalk in\nfront of the hotel. Manager David 
 Nadelman has called the police on her and tried to stop her 
 from\npicketing. This attack on democratic rights by Nadelman and the 
 management is another example of\nhow they treat union members. They 
 claimed the "sidewalks" belong to the hotel but this is not true.\nWe need 
 to let management know that the working people of San Francisco will not 
 allow this \nanti-labor management to run roughshod over worker and human 
 rights. Housekeepers have one \nof the most difficult jobs in the hotel and 
 many housekeepers are injured on the job due to the large \nnumber of rooms 
 they must clean and also the new beds, which are difficult to move. \nHotel 
 management cannot be allowed to intimidate and terrorize workers who stand 
 up for their \nrights on the job! Labor Rights Are Human Rights. \nThe 
 Local 2 Committee to Defend Fired Workers is calling on hotel workers and 
 all working \npeople to call SF Grand Hyatt manager David Nadelman at (415) 
 398-1234 and let him know that \nEsther Dominguez should be rehired now!
