§Latest from the Local 2 on Tuesday rally

Local 2 Community Supporters,

Please join UNITE HERE! Local 2, Reverend Jesse Jackson, and other special guests for a rally in Union Square, on Tuesday, October 12th, at 4:15 p.m.

As you know, Local 2 has for months been struggling to win a fair contract with San Francisco's hotel industry. On September 29th, the union called a two-week strike at 4 hotels. Two days later, 10 other hotels retaliated by locking out their own employees. Then, last week, all 14 hotels announced that they would continue their lock out indefinitely -- keeping workers out of their jobs, and posing a real threat to the recovery of San Francisco's economy.

Please come join us tomorrow on Union Square, to send a clear message that the hotel industry must begin treating workers, and the entire San Francisco community, with respect.

Thank you,
Kelly Dugan
