39 HERE Local 2 - Hotel Workers Fight for Their Union
10/12/04 -- Locked out and striking San Francisco hotel workers, members of HERE/UNITE Local 2, rally in Union Square to hear Rev. Jesse Jackson. The union struck four hotels on September 28. Ten other hotels, including the St. Francis, then locked out their workers. Hotel workers voted September 14 to strike over employer demands for cuts in health care payments, inadequate raises, and for an expiration date for their contract in 2006, which would allow the union to negotiate simultaneously in major US cities.
