Hotel workers are calling for a boycott of two San Francisco hotels that have allegedly rejected employee calls to unionize.
Unite Here Local 2, the union for hotel and restaurant workers in San Francisco and San Mateo counties, are holding demonstrations at the Hyatt Fisherman’s Wharf and the Le Meridien Hotel all day today and Tuesday to demand that the hotel owner, Maryland-based Chesapeake Lodging Trust, approve a fair process where workers can choose to unionize.
The demonstrations are intended to coincide with the hotels’ Institutional and Investor Security Analyst Conference.
“The owners, the Chesapeake Lodging Trust, are hosting an event for their financial analysts to showcase how successful they are,” Unite Here Local 2 spokeswoman Tho Do said. “We want to be there to show what it’s like being in a labor dispute in the San Francisco community.”
