"We Are Getting Stronger" SF Unite Here Marriott Marquis Workers Joined By Teachers

After 56 days on strike at the San Francisco Marriott Hotel and 7 other hotels in San Franciso, the workers on November 28, 2018, talked about how the strike has made them stronger and more united in the fight against the union-busting attacks by the Marriott Hotel Corporation which is the largest hotel company in the world. Many with children have to share the room with family members to survive and work additional jobs.

They were joined by teachers from throughout the bay area who talked about their students and the attack through privatization and charters to destroy public education.

The union Unite Here Local 2 represents the workers and there has been a national strike throughout the country at 8 cities. Many of these hotels have settled including in Oakland and San Jose.
