How to Win the Hotel Strike
This struggle cannot be won if scabs are allowed to cross the picket line
every day of the week. Hotel owners will have little interest in making
concessions as long as their profits keep pouring in.
every day of the week. Hotel owners will have little interest in making
concessions as long as their profits keep pouring in.
The Hotels have flown in hundred of scabs to be "replacement" workers.
Soldidarity is needed by all who support workers and workers rights.

How to Win!
This struggle cannot be won if scabs are allowed to cross the picket line
every day of the week. Hotel owners will have little interest in making
concessions as long as their profits keep pouring in.
These jobs are Local 2 jobs!
When people work, we work not only for ourselves,
but for our children, for our spouses, and for our partners.
We work in order thatwe and our loved ones can survive.
We work so that our children have the basic,
inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
It is for this reason that the right to work for reasonable compensation
is a basic human right!
No one has the right to scab!
Scabs are not only traitors to themselves but traitors to humanity.
It is our duty to exercise our constitutional right of assembly
and put a stop to their treachery!
We believe that a call should be put out to every labor union in the city
to help mobilize thousands of supporters
so that these picket lines are large enough to
stop the scabs from crossing them.
In this way the labor movement can assure
that the hotels are shutdown...
this is the only way to force the owners to concede
to the just demands of Local 2 and its membership.
This step will send a signal to people throughout the city
that a real fight is being waged and inspire them to join in.
Mass picket lines could initially be organized on weekends and then,
using that momentum, extended into the week days.
An educational committee should be organized
and mandated to explain to all scabs
that they are not only stealing our jobs,
but the food off our table and the clothes off our back.
They are committing crimes against humanity.
The outcome of this struggle will impact all working people.
With solidarity we can win!
AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY TO ALL!
