How Hotel Workers Can Win

These jobs are Local 2 jobs. When people work, we work not only for ourselves, but for our children, for our spouses, and for our partners. We work in order that we and our loved ones can survive. We work so that our children have the basic, inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is for this reason that the right to work for reasonable compensation is a basic human right.

No one has the right to scab. Scabs are not only traitors to themselves but traitors to humanity. It is our duty to exercise our constitutional right of assembly and put a stop to their treachery.

We believe that a call should be put out to every labor union in the city to help mobilize thousands of supporters so that these picket lines are large enough to stop the scabs from crossing them. In this way the labor movement can assure that the hotels are shutdown...this is the only way to force the owners to concede to the just demands of Local 2 and its membership. This step will send a signal to people throughout the city that a real fight is being waged and inspire them to join in. Mass picket lines could initially be organized on weekends and then, using that momentum, extended into the week days. An educational committee should be organized and mandated to explain to all scabs that they are not only stealing our jobs, but the food off our table and the clothes off our back. They are committing crimes against humanity.

The outcome of this struggle will impact all working people. With solidarity we can win!

AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY TO ALL!
