Billionaires Pay Up! SF Unite HERE Local 2 Bohemian Club Workers Fight For Living Wage
One hundred workers at the private Bohemian Club which is men only went on a two day strike after 8 years without a contract
One hundred Unite Here Local 2 workers at the billionaires Bohemian Club in San Francisco have been without a contract for eight years. They began a two day strike on April 26, 2018 and talked about the fight for a living wage and the crisis for workers in San Francisco on the second day of the strike. The club has also made it difficult for union representatives to talk to the workers in the club. The last strike at the Bohemian Club was in 1989.
Additionally, the contract for 9,000 hotel workers in San Francisco and San Mateo are expiring in August and this might be the prelude to that battle.

"Afshar explained that the working conditions in the club resemble a surveillance state, with cameras in nearly every corner. He described the inside like San Quentin State Prison."
“Yes there are cameras all over. In the coat room...even on top of the dishwasher,” he said. “It’s not right.”
"Powell told Salon that a front-desk worker only recently got a chair. Previously, they did not have the option to sit during at all during an eight-hour shift."
“That is a California law,” she said. “You are supposed to have access to a chair.”
