Civil Disobedience in SF: HERE Local 2
Local 2 Takes to the Streets on Labor Day. Over 130 Arrested. Part 1.
Hundreds of hotel workers and their allies took to the streets this Labor Day to demonstrate their growing impatience with the San Francisco Hotels Multi-Employer Group, which is taking a hard line in negotations with Local 2. Over a hundred were arrested as they blocked cable car traffic around Union Square, in the heart of San Francisco's tourist district.
Three weeks after the expiration of Local 2's citywide contract, the MEG still refuses to guarantee maintenance of health care benefits, and is trying to weaken San Francisco workers by dividing them from hotel workers throughout North America. Local 2 members will take a strike authorization vote on September 14.
QT movie. 3.5 min. 13MB.
Parts 2 & 3 are below.
