Workers Arrested Protesting Lack Of Contract At SF Hotels
SF Hotel Workers March & Rally
On May 3rd, Local 2 of UNITE HERE and its many allies marched from Union Square through downtown San Francisco ending up at the Hilton Hotel . Forty activists entered the Hilton lobby and brought business to a stand-still for several hours until arrested and cited by police.
Since the summer of 2004, San Francisco's hotel workers have been struggling to win a new contract. Despite management's decision to end their 7 1/2 week lockout last fall, little progress has been made toward settling the workers' key issues. The members of Local 2 have called on visitors to boycott the 14 Multi-Employer Group hotels. These include the Argent Hotel, the Crowne Plaza Union Square, the Four Seasons, the Fairmont, the Grand Hyatt Union Square, the Hilton San Francisco, the Holiday Inn Civic Center, the Holiday Inn Express, the Holiday Inn Fisherman's Wharf, the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero Center, the Mark Hopkins InterContinental, the Omni Hotel, the Sheraton Palace, and the Westin St. Francis.
