Labor Day in Downtown San Francisco

by Bill Hackwell (hckwll [at] yahoo.com)
Over 1000 members of Unite Here! Local2 and their supporters rallied and marched on Labor Day in San Francisco for a decent contract in the current negotiations with the city's hotels.

Today's labor march started at the Embarcadero Hyatt to draw attention to the refusal by Hyatt to allow a fair process that would allow the workers at the Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf to have union representation. The march proceeded to HEI Le Meridien that is also a non union hotel in the heart of downtown. A major concern of the Local 2 workers is the history of Hyatt in agressively demanding health care cuts. This is from a company whose president and CEO made $6.7 million last year.
