Woodfin Suites Hotel Workers Challenge No-match Firings

12 Woodfin Suites Hotel, Emeryville

Immigrant workers from the Woodfin Suites hotel and their supporters rally outside the Emeryville City Hall, and then march to the hotel. Hotel managers have been trying to fire 20 workers, accusing them of lacking legal permission to work, and alleging that they don't have valid Social Security numbers. Workers say the hotel is retaliating against them for trying to enforce the city's new living wage ordinance. Emeryville's city council has supported the workers, who want to keep their jobs.
