Hotel Striker Attacked!!!!
Hotel Striker gets attacked by hotel security!!!!!
A picketer at Holiday Inn Fisherman's Wharf was viciously attacked today. Unbelievable! I'm not exactly a supporter of all the demands of Unite Here, but this is absolutely unacceptable behavior.
A picketer was attacked by the hotel's security staff with a bottle. This kind of action is evident with hooligans and thugs. Is that the kind of people the hotels hire as security? I don't have all the details nor do I know the events that lead up to the attack, but all I know is the guard is suppose to represent his employer and this just makes the coming to an agreement much more difficult. The guard came out and appeared to be trying to single out a person and when he was identified the guard chased him and the picketer got away. Then the guard turned around and attacked another picketer with the bottle. Other picketers tried to help but was stopped by two other guards!!! Unbelievable. Then the attacker got into his car and left. When the ambulance and the police arrived the guard returned to watch and was identified by other witnesses. Upon being identified, he drove off and the police pursued him. I hope he gets caught!!!
