Solidarity with the striking workers of locals 8, 26, and 274
Solidarity with our union sisters and brothers who went on strike June 22 at the Embassy Suites Seattle Downtown and the Sheraton Downtown Philadelphia, two FIFA World Cup cities where workers are fighting for dignity, fair wages, and to keep ICE out. Stay strong comrades, and hold the line!
On June 25 at 3:00 a.m., concession workers at Rhode Island’s T. F. Green International Airport went on strike. People from all over the world are traveling to Providence for the World Cup. But before watching the soccer matches, they are encountering picket lines at the airport of workers fighting for a better life. We stand with you, strikers! Sí se puede!
We are keeping an eye on th Areas concession workers at Boston Logan International Airport who have authorized a strike and are on strike alert!
Congratulations to the workers of the Universal Hilton, who ratified their first union contract at 100%! With this incredible new contract, workers go from paying 100% for their health insurance to only paying 20% and the company pays the rest. Workers also won a pension and access to the legal fund. And housekeepers will continue to benefit from the Hotel Worker Protection and the Worker Retention ordinances Local 11 helped pass, capping workloads to 8 rooms per shift and protecting them from losing their jobs.
On March 19, at 4:38 AM the workers of the Universal Hilton settled their first union contract. Pending ratification, workers won—amongst many other benefits—substancial raises, healthcare, pension, and workload protection. Workers will get a $4 raise in the first year, and $10 over the 4-year contract. The contract will cover about 250 workers. Congratulations to all the workers whose life is about to get much better!
