UNITE HERE LOCAL 1 Hotel Workers Protest,Chicago IL Congress hotel June 15/2009

The workers at the Congress Hotel have been on strike for 6 years now.The workers' strategy has changed, also. You will not see a picket line outside the Congress Hotel as often as before. Now the workers, and their community allies, are visiting or calling prospective customers of the hotel, asking them to withdraw their patronage. In the first six months of this year, this project claims to have diverted some $700,000 in business from the Congress Hotel, and one of the Congress' few repeat customers has moved its annual meetings elsewhere. They are also working to gain and maintain the support of public officials

@SanjuroYojimbo fuck you.

Seriously folks, your efforts have been vain for the past 7 years at this hotel. The hotel has no money and management is not giving into your ridiculous demands. Why cant you get the message? Labor unions have been on the decline since the late 1970s and fortunately their leverage and strength is diminished.

Fuck the UNIONS.
