Dear John,
Service cuts. Painful workloads. Disrespect at work. Not being able to make ends meet. That’s what hotel workers are dealing with — while hotels have record high room rates and hotel owners are making huge profits.
Workers are demanding the industry respect our work. More than 13,000 hotel workers have already voted to authorize strikes in Boston, Honolulu, San Francisco, Providence, New Haven, Greenwich, San Jose, and Baltimore, with more to come. Strikes can occur any time following the expiration of contracts. Contracts in some cities have already expired with others to expire in the coming weeks.
You can help us win strong union contracts that pay workers what they need to support their families. Your solidarity matters.
We’re calling on our allies to publicly honor our fight. If hotel workers are on strike or call for a boycott, do NOT eat, sleep, or meet at their hotel until workers win the contract they need.
We’re ready to win. Will you stand with us? Click here to pledge your support to hotel workers today.
Thank you,
Gwen Mills, International President of UNITE HERE
