Raging Grannies on the line at San Jose Marriott
On Friday Feb 27 from noon to 1:00pm Marriott employees came out of the hotel to join a picket line. The hotel is connected to the San Jose McEnery Convention Center so conventioneers abounded. The Raging Grannies bolstered the picketing workers in solidarity!
Raging Grannies in support of Unite HERE local 19. Supporting hotel workers needs...some of the Grannies are former hotel employees too.
Songs the Grannies sang (more below with photos)
Housekeepers' Song
Tune: We Wish You a Merry Christmas
We're HOUSE-keepers cleaning rooms here
We're HOUSE-keepers cleaning rooms here
We're HOUSE-keepers cleaning rooms here
For Marriott guests
We DO a-lot-of heavy LIFT-ing
We DO a-lot-of heavy LIFT-ing
We DO a-lot-of heavy LIFT-ing
And make things look nice
We're food workers serving guests here
We're food workers serving guests here
We're food workers serving guests here
And give the guests cheer
We're main-ten-ance men and women
We're main-ten-ance men and women
We're main-ten-ance men and women
With families to raise
We're just asking for a contract
We're just asking for a contract
We're just asking for a contract
With fair-ness for all!
*Happy Profits*
Tune: Happy Birthday
Happy profits for you
Happy profits for you
Happy profits, happy profits
Happy profits for you
We meet here to say
We're deserving some pay
We're deserving some pay
And some programs today
We work hard and long
So we say in this song
So we say in this song
You must help us along
