DESCRIPTION:Since June 2008, workers at two major San Francisco hotels have called upon 
 management to permit them to choose whether or not to form a union without 
 fear of intimidation, harassment, and other scare tactics. They have asked 
 the two hotel companies – Hyatt Hotels and HEI Hotels & Resorts – to 
 adopt the same, fair “majority sign-up” process that has been used by 
 numerous other hotel companies in San Francisco and throughout North 
 America.\n\nDespite repeated calls from workers, community supporters, and 
 student groups throughout the country, Hyatt and HEI have refused. As a 
 result, on February 24, 2009, many workers at both HEI Le Meridien and the 
 Hyatt Fisherman’s Wharf delivered their signed petitions to management, 
 calling on guests to boycott these hotels. The June 18th march celebrates 
 the courage and determination of these workers to continue to fight for 
 dignity and respect on the job.\n\nUNITE HERE! Local 2 is the union of 
 hotel and food service workers in San Francisco and San Mateo Counties. It 
 represents about 13,000 workers in the hospitality industry, For more
