Contract
Vote on
"Last Best Offer" From Hotels
Overwhelmingly Rejected by 92% of Workers
July 1, 2004
Over
2,000 Los Angeles hotel workers voted on
the Hotel Employer Council's "last best"
contract offer. It was overwhelmingly rejected
by 92% of workers. In addition to wages,
benefits and pensions, a key sticking point
is the length of the new contract. The hotels
want a five-year contract but workers want
a two-year contract to line themselves up
with ten other cities so they can leverage
their strength to negotiate with the big
corporations. |

Why
the Hotel Workers' Struggle
Matters to You
|
The
hotel workers' struggle is critically
important. Collective bargaining
is democracy in action at a
time when America needs it most.
We live in an era where corporations
have more control over our lives
and rarely do ordinary people
have an opportunity to come
together and shape the big decisions
that impact their lives and
indirectly affect all of us.
Blue collar, white collar or
no collar or at all, everyone
has a stake in defending workers'
rights. More
