CITY ON THE EDGE

JOHN STEEN: ON STRIKE!

CALLING FOR A BOYCOTT OF LA

“For those who are deciding on whether to hold your event in LA including FIFA and the Olympics, the choice is clear. On one side, there is the boundless greed and violent conduct of rapacious corporations.  On the other side, there is the sacrifice, solidarity and courage of these workers fighting for a living wage.  Which side are you on?”

SOLIDARITY

We hear from the hotel companies that they think striking workers will have to cave because they don’t have the same financial resources as the multi-billion dollar companies who are enjoying record profits. The pledge to back us up takes that power away from them. The bosses always underestimate the power of their workers and the labor movement.

46 HOTELS HAVE GONE ON STRIKE

Already 46 hotels have gone on strike in LA and Orange County. We had an epic rally in downtown and six LA City Councilmembers joined the party. This is what five of them said.
