Rally for Hotel Workers
Last year, workers at the State Plaza Hotel in Foggy Bottom voted overwhelmingly for a voice at work with HERE Local 25, but management continues to stall contract negotiations. The housekeepers, bellmen, kitchen and restaurant employees at the hotel (mostly Latin American and Vietnamese immigrants) simply want to be treated with respect, but State Plaza owner Richard Bernstein refuses to recognize his workers' choice and negotiate with them. Join them in a rally at the State Plaza Hotel (2117 E St. NW) on Wednesday, April 14, at noon. For more information, call Josh Niederman at LOCAL 25 at 202/737-2225 or send him an e-mail.
