Labor Union Blog

By Doug Cunningham

For four years a handful of workers with the help of UNITE-HERE have fought to organize a union at the Monterey Travel Lodge in California. They’re rallying today to protest the continuing anti-union actions of the lodge’s owner. UNITE-HERE 43’s Mark Weller.

[Weller]: “We need to lift these hospitality jobs into the middle class, not drag them into poverty. And so, this is a three year boycott, its a four year fight. And it's thirteen workers. But these thirteen workers are as important as any others in the United States, so we're going to continue to fight for them."
