What do we want? CONTRACT! When do we want it? NOW! @FairmontRYH workers, took to the lobby to tell @FairmontHotels and @Accor We Demand Our Fair share!
We couldn't be prouder to celebrate alongside UNITEHERE 75 at the Toronto Pride Parade. Your valued support helped make our collective presence bigger, bolder, and more impactful.
The World Cup kicks off in Canada on June 12, and over a million visitors are expected to stream into the country as Toronto and Vancouver welcome fans for the chance to watch their teams play on the world’s biggest stage.
@UniteHere40@UNITEHERE75 As they fight for the ability to thrive in their cities, hospitality workers have this message for World Cup fans: Welcome to Canada and enjoy the games. It may have cost a lot for you to get here, but we’re paying the higher price.
@UniteHere40@UNITEHERE75 The same employers set to rake in the profits from the World Cup—nightly room rates in some locations are going for upwards of $2,000—refuse to pay workers enough to get by.
@UniteHere40@UNITEHERE75 The cost of living in each city is remarkably high. Workers say that it’s getting harder to pay for housing and other necessities.
Hospitality workers with @UniteHere40 in Vancouver and @UNITEHERE75 in Toronto are set to welcome soccer fans to their cities but at the same time they’re asking: what about us?
📣Calling all artists in the labor movement! This summer, the UNITE HERE Education & Support Fund (UHESF) is teaming up with @TalkingDolls to pilot a Detroit-based art residency for 4-6 emerging artists who are rank-and-file union members. (🧵Check thread for more info!)

“Being in a union means I have real power...I have a voice & I share that with thousands of workers. My union helped me grow & gave me confidence to speak up for myself & others.“

Solidarity with workers from @UNITEHERE75 at One King West fighting for fair wages. Bosses have ignored their contract for 11 months meaning their pay is behind other UniteHere75 hotels.
"No contract, No peace"
