UNION VICTORY: THELMA GOT HER JOB BACK!
DOÑA SALUD GOT HER SHIFT BACK!
Doña Salud, who is 83, is returning to her morning shift!
Last year Flying Food Group gave Doña Salud a shift that ended at midnight, and as someone who is 83 and has to take multiple buses to get to and from work every day, it was tremendously exhausting.
After her dish department got together and organized a successful shift bid on her behalf, justice was served!
Stronger with Local 11 Health Fund!
As healthcare subsidies are expected to end this month, now more than ever it is important that we have the Unite Here Health Fund. For years we have fought to expand coverage in our contracts, and we will continue to fight for more. One of the amazing new benefits available to members is the Dental Center!
Get to know the Fund’s newest dental provider!
The UNITE HERE Local 11 Health Benefit Fund (formerly Santa Monica UNITE HERE Health Benefit Fund) has opened of our own Dental Office — just for Local 11 members and their eligible family members.

Dodger Workers Win Big During World Series!!
We’d like to take a moment to appreciate the workers who create the Dodger Stadium experience! Workers at Dodgers Stadium are the ultimate fans: when games go extra innings, so do workers.
In 2022, Dodgers Stadium workers signed a fantastic union contract with life-changing wages and benefits. And they’re about to enter negotiations for their next contract!

CAPITAL & MAIN: When Workers Unite, Even Disney Has to Listen
“It’s difficult to overstate the significance of last week’s final approval of a $233 million settlement between the Walt Disney Co. and the tens of thousands of Disneyland employees whom the company has underpaid for years.
This is a battle that dates to 2018, when Anaheim voters passed a measure — backed by a coalition of unions — that was squarely intended to force the House of Mouse to pay workers something approaching a living wage. Instead, Disney resisted the law for years before finally being held accountable.”

NEW CONTRACTS!
THE ORIGINAL PANTRY WILL REOPEN!
The Original Pantry Café workers, some of whom have served Angelenos for more than 40 years, will return to their jobs! After a landmark agreement between the new owner Leo Pustilnikov and Local 11, the Pantry will reopen early 2026.
Kurt Petersen, co-president of UNITE HERE Local 11 said, “That the Original Pantry will reopen is not just a union victory — it is a Los Angeles victory. It’s a love story with a storybook ending, arriving at a moment when our city needs it most. The Pantry’s dishwashers, cooks, and servers — with more than 300 years of service between them — never gave up. They are true heroes of Los Angeles. Let’s go eat some pancakes!”
The Original Pantry Café To Open Early 2026!
The Original Pantry Café workers, some of whom have served Angelenos for more than 40 years, will return to their jobs after a landmark agreement between the new owner and Real Estate Entrepreneur Leo Pustilnikov and UNITE HERE Local 11. Together, they celebrated the announcement of reopening of the beloved 101-year old restaurant with city leaders, community allies and loyal patrons. Workers were joined by Los Angeles council members, Ysabel Jurado, Curren Price and dozens more outside the Pantry today.
LA TIMES: L.A.’s Original Pantry to reopen with new owner and same workers
“Real estate developer Leo Pustilnikov bought the Original Pantry’s nearly 8,000-square-foot building on James M. Wood Boulevard with the blessing of hospitality union Unite Here Local 11. The union, which represents Pantry workers, inked a deal with Pustilnikov ensuring that the diner would keep union representation and bring back all 25 workers who lost their jobs when it closed in March.”
