It’s time for the richest CEOs to pay more taxes. Ask your shop steward or organizer how you can sign the petition, and help your family sign, too.

Over 200 cooks, servers, bartenders, dishwashers, room attendants, front desk agents, and other Disney cast members gathered for our first bargaining session for our 2026 contract fight.
PICKET LINE AT THE LONG BEACH YACHT CLUB

STANDING WITH OUR UNION SISTERS AND BROTHERS OF LOCAL 17 IN MINNEAPOLIS
Thousands of people came together to stand against ICE at the MSP Airport in Minneapolis. Nearly 100 clergy put their bodies on the line in an act of civil disobedience, praying for our brothers and sisters of Local 17 who have been detained and holding their names and faces high. We stand in solidarity with Local 17 and all the people of Minneapolis.
OCCUPY AT THE JONATHAN CLUB IN DTLA

WORKERS AT THE SHERATON FAIRPLEX WIN THEIR FIRST UNION CONTRACT
MEET WORKER LEADER LUCIAN RAIU
Lucian is a leader who worked at Private Suites, a private terminal in LAX. He began organizing his coworkers to unionize in order to improve their working conditions and gain transparency regarding their tips. Lucian was subsequently fired. Instead of being discouraged, he felt even more empowered and continued organizing outside of work. Thanks to his leadership, nearly 100 new members were unionized. Lucian didn’t stop there and began working for the union as an organizer to unionize a second group of workers that the company refused to recognize. Thanks to his persistence and determination, the company has now agreed to recognize this second group of workers. Bravo, Lucian!
WELCOME TO THE UNION FAIRMONT BREAKERS WORKERS!
Sky Cafe Workers File Wage Theft Complaints
Since Sky Café took over the American Airlines food service contract at Sky Harbor in Phoenix, AZ, at least six workers allege they were not paid for all hours worked. As a result, six wage theft complaints have been filed with the Industrial Commission of Arizona. An additional complaint has been filed with the Arizona Attorney General’s Office alleging that at least five workers were effectively paid below Arizona’s minimum wage. Workers are calling for a thorough investigation into the allegations, accountability for any violations found, and stronger worker protections for companies operating at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
UNION VICTORY: THELMA GOT HER JOB BACK!
Protecting Housing for Working People, NOT Corporations!
Our union mobilized to LA City Hall over Airbnbs attempt to further convert our housing into hotels through the proposed Vacation Rentals Ordinance. Back in 2018, our union helped defeat this proposal—but they’re trying again through their so-called “SOS” campaign. We need to stay organized and keep fighting to protect housing for our families, not for corporate short-term rental profits.
LA TIMES: L.A. unions push new tax on companies with ‘overpaid’ CEOs
The so-called Overpaid CEO Tax initiative was announced at a rally outside Elon Musk’s Tesla Diner featuring union workers holding signs that read “Taxing greed to pay for what we need,” and a cartoon cutout of a boss carrying money bags and puffing a fat cigar.
“It’s high time the rich paid more taxes,” said Kurt Petersen, co-president of Unite Here Local 11, which represents airport and hotel employees.
