"Wretched" conditions, displacing women/immigrant workers, crossing a picket line at Pacific Gateway, and Auditor General reveals they failed to keep tabs on quarantine stays. What the heck is wrong with Public Health Agency of Canada? @JustinTrudeau@erinotoole@theJagmeetSingh
Thank you @DonDavies for raising the treatment of Pacific Gateway workers at this quarantine hotel which fired 143 workers - one of the hotels noted for "wretched" conditions by @MariekeWalsh & @janicedickson. Minister @jyduclos - it's time for PHAC to move out! #canpoli#bcpoli
Sean Mckenny, President Ottawa Labour Council and Larry Rousseau, Vice President, CLC in solidarity with workers fired by the Sheraton Ottawa Hotel.#shameonthesheraton
Thank you for always sticking up for working people @JoelHardenONDP you are a true friend of labour and you are making a difference. Thank you. #Solidarity@CanadianLabour
Standing in solidarity with @sheratonhotels workers today who were cruelly terminated in the middle of a pandemic.
I support their call to boycott the Sheraton Ottawa Hotel until they’re rehired. You can’t treat workers in #OttawaCentre like garbage and get away with it.
Pan Pacific Vancouver fired nearly 100 workers and asked those left behind to sign away severance rights to keep jobs; how much $$$$ has owner Westmont rcvd in Covid relief from Cdn & US govts intended to keep workers tied to their jobs? 🤔🧐 @JustinTrudeau@NDP@CPC_HQ#cdnpoli
Owner of @panpacificvan (Westmont) took $34 million in Paycheck Protection loans intended to keep workers tied to their jobs - much like CEWS, workers fired anyway; with @UNITEHERE11 we call on US Small Biz Admin to investigate https://t.co/krb3zOhb0f #cdnpoli#bcpoli@cafreeland
The AFL joins @UNITEHERECanada in issuing a boycott deadline of August 8, 2021 for DSDL-owned Varscona, Mettera, and Matrix hotels. We are supporting the boycott call because of how the owner, DSDL, is treating @UniteHere40 workers during the pandemic #solidarity#canlab
Today, on behalf of the @ABFedLabour and in cooperation with @UniteHere40, I issued a boycott deadline of Aug. 8 to DSDL, the South Korean owners of the Varsona, Meterra and Matrix hotels in #yeg. Mistreatment of workers has consequences! #Solidarity#canlab
The AFL will not give business to hotels that mistreat their workers. I urge DSDL to commit to bringing @UniteHere40 workers back to their jobs as business returns! @gilmcgowan#solidarity#canlab
Rally at the DSDL-owned Varscona #yeg for locked out @UniteHere40 DSDL Hilton Vancouver Metrotown workers! #HiltonMetrotown laid off workers when COVID-19 hit but instead of committing to recall them, the hotel fired 97 workers and locked out the rest. #Solidarity! #canlab

Today in support of locked out @HiltonVanMetrotown workers, @UNITEHERE75 delegated @CWBcommunity hotel lending HQ in Mississauga re: hotel boycott & troubled corporate history behind DSDL (Hilton Metrotown’s parent co). Thanks Local 75!
#cdnpoli#bcpoli@hiltonhotels
Locked out @hiltonvanmetro workers visited hotel lender @CWBCommunity today and raised troubling details about DSDL’s corporate history - DSDL is ultimate parent of Hilton Metrotown.
More to come.

Union demands ‘transparency’ on quarantine hotel program after women, racialized workers let go amid pandemic https://t.co/vrD5ebbmWB via @thehilltimes (Paywall) #cdnpoli#canlab#bcpoli#bclab
This testimony was devastating. The treatment of these women must be addressed, and I will have more to say on this tomorrow. Credit to @DonDavies for bringing this issue to the forefront at HESA.
This story sums it up perfectly - Hotel Workers Are Fighting For Their Right to Be Recalled to Work After The Pandemic Ends. They Could Lose Their Jobs For Good.(https://t.co/FVDSURsxFW)
"How much has the government spent on this hotel while women like me are treated like we're disposable" -Elisa Cardona testimony re: Pacific Gateway before Standing Ctte on Health https://t.co/z3hhDmHIMJ #HESA@JustinTrudeau@PattyHajdu@GovCanHealth@DonDavies@MichelleRempel
Whether intended or not, @redcrosscanada is now in the crosshairs of a very serious situation affecting the livelihoods of over 200 hotel workers and their families.
We urge the Red Cross to do the right thing and stop crossing our picket line! (2/2)
