Hotel Management Drag Their Feet & Local 2 Hits the Streets
Ninety-two Arrested for Blocking Entrances at the St. Francis Westin and the Grand Hyatt
On September 24th, 1700 hotel workers in Unite Here! Local 2 and their supporters marched around union square to demand a fair contract with a number of San Francisco hotels. Ninety-two union members and others were arrested for blocking the entrances at the St. Francis Westin and the Grand Hyatt.
Unite Here! Local 2 has been trying to get the hotels to engage in serious negotiations since their contract expired on August 14. Despite the downturn in the economy the hotel industry continues to reap huge profits while proposing the next contract cuts funding for the worker's medical benefits.
