San Francisco Hotel Strike History Walking Tour (Free)
Frankly, My Dears, I Give a Damn: Let's Strike! By David Giesen Come along on a fast-paced history of a good bit of San Francisco hotel workers strike history. Historian David Giesen leads this two-hour survey of a hundred years of put-upon cooks, servers, pillow plumpers and entertainment staff that will first make you simply kvetch, but end with you joining the strikers’ refrain, “Land & Liberty!” From the Palace Hotel in 1937 to the Hyatt and Frank in 2011, this walk/talk digs under the headlines and behind the rhetoric to reveal the truly sordid story of hospitality industry labor itself without a place to lay its head. Unite HERE Local 2 members will participate. For more information: http://www.laborfest.net/2011/2011schedule.htm http://www.TheCommonsSF.org
