One hundred Hilton workers, labor activists, and supporters gathered on Labor Day to call for job security at Seattle's Hilton Hotel. The demonstration was organized in response to the R.C. Hedreen Company's decision to put the Seattle Hilton up for sale without securing job protections, jeopardizing over 100 hotel jobs currently under union contract.
Ten community supporters, including 2 workers at other Seattle area hotels, were arrested as they blocked the streets to send a message about the importance of job security in the hospitality industry.
