Universal Studios workers call on NBCUniversal to keep ICE OUT!

Hundreds of workers, community members, and allies gathered outside Universal Studios Hollywood to call for protections against immigration enforcement activity on park property and to demand that NBCUniversal take a public stand to ensure safety and dignity for workers and visitors.

Workers from UNITE HERE Local 11 and IATSE Local B-192 are currently in contract negotiations with NBCUniversal. As part of those negotiations, UNITE HERE Local 11 and IATSE Local 192 have proposed contract language that would ensure that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is not voluntarily allowed onto the Universal hill and backlot, and that NBCUniversal publicly condemns the use of violence, militarized tactics, or intimidation by ICE or other federal agencies against individuals, workers, or families.

NBCUniversal has not agreed to these proposed protections.

2nd Non-Violence Direct Action Training in Phoenix!

We gathered with so many incredible people for a second training on Non-Violent Direct Action in Phoenix! Nearly 150 activists, workers, elected leaders, and community partners came together to ground ourselves and commit together to the practice of nonviolent direct action, built on the foundation of Reverend James Lawson Jr.’s teachings. Freedom is a constant struggle, but in the words of the 6th principle of nonviolence: “Nonviolence believes the universe is on the side of justice. The moral arc bends toward justice — but only when we push, together, with discipline and faith.”

WORKERS AT THE LONG BEACH YACHT CLUB ARE FIGHTING FOR A NEW CONTRACT

Workers at the Long Beach Yacht Club are fighting for a new contract. Management wants to take away the Service Charge in the new contract and is offering minimum raises. Servers and bartenders at the Yacht Club have relied on the service charge to pay their bills and raise their families. Adding insult to injury the club has offered a ¢40 raise over three years to all back of the house workers, some who have worked there for over 45 years!

SANTA MONICA CITY COUNCIL PASSES THE WORKER RETENTION ORDINANCE

Santa Monica City Council unanimously passed the Work Ordinance last night on second reading. This ordinance expands worker recall protections and helps keep families stable in our community. Thank you to Mayor Torosis, Councilmembers Hall and Raskin for leading the way . This is a huge win for workers with a balanced approach that supports workers, local business, and our community, bringing stability and fairness for hospitality workers in Santa Monica.

At the first reading a week before, workers from Rusty’s spoke about getting laid off when the restaurant closed last year and hoping that they will retain their jobs now that it is about to reopen as a new restaurant.

ICE OUT OF THE MILANO OLYMPICS!

Union members, clergy, and community activists joined outside the LA28 headquarters in DTLA to call for ICE to be out of the Winter Olympics in Milan! Why are ICE agents in Milan? The citizens of Milan definitely don’t want them there. Here in LA the Fair Games Coalition is asking the board of LA28, the organization the City Council subcontracted the LA Olympics and Paralympics Games, to get ICE out of the Winter Olympics and out of the LA Olympics too!
