The battle for a fair contract for San Francisco’s hotel workers is heating up again. Ironically, since hotel workers here have been without a contract for a couple years, one of their demands has been met in a back door kind of way. Since hotels are, by and large, all owned by giant multinational chains, hotel workers around the country have been demanding a contract that expires at the same time for workers across the country. Well, contracts are expiring all over, so the unions are working to leverage the power of numbers.
The Hotel Workers Rising Campaign is well under way!
Negotiations with the Multi-Employer Group have recommenced. This time Hotel Workers across the country are in a position to negotiate at the same time in an effort to raise the standard of hotel jobs. Hotel Workers are on the front lines of a struggle to lift our communities into the middle class; to make it possible for working people to live in San Francisco.
We are being called upon as the community of San Francisco to stand together for good jobs in our city.
