UNITE HERE Local 11 + WGA West + SAG-AFTRA
What happens when UNITE HERE Local 11, Writers Guild of America West, and SAG-AFTRA decide to throw a street party? And they are joined by LA County Federation Of Labor, Amusement Area Employees Union Local B-192? This is what happens!
LETICIA CEBALLOS
Leticia has two jobs and lives two hours away from her workplace to be able to achieve her dream of home ownership. She has to sleep in her car between jobs and can only see her family on weekends. That’s why she’s on strike.
THE SECOND WAVE OF STRIKES
“Thousands of workers at 33 hotels from Downtown Los Angeles to LAX to Orange County have participated in the largest hotel worker strike in California history,” said Kurt Petersen, Co-President UNITE HERE Local 11. “Our city has reached a tipping point. The wealthy continue to live in luxury while workers, from actors and writers to room attendants and servers, live from one paycheck to the next. This fight is ultimately about whether those who make LA prosperous and beautiful will be able to afford to live in LA.”
YESENIA REYES
I feel more empowered now than ever to continue fighting for a good contract. As a single mom, I rarely get to see my six kids because I work two full time jobs to pay my $2,000 rent and keep up with other expenses.
