Strong Turnout at La Playa Carmel Post-Labor Day Rally

Many former workers have applied for their old positions back without receiving interviews or any response from management. Noe Hinojosa worked at La Playa as a bartender for 33 years, and after he applied, he was not selected for an interview. Hinojosa has now been featured by Unite Here as the first of the former workers to appear on a series of "Missing" fliers, which are designed to look like missing persons posters, referring to the fact that many customers at La Playa have been asking where some of their favorite former workers are. As a bartender for 33 years at La Playa, Hinojosa forged innumerable bonds with customers at an establishment that prides itself in a its 100 year history.

Unite Here plans to hold demonstrations at La Playa Carmel indefinitely until all of the former workers are offered their jobs back. The next events at the hotel are scheduled for September 14 and 21 at 8am and September 28 at 5pm.
