4 APRIL 2009 COMMUNITY COMMISSION ON WORKER JUSTICE- Arlington, Virginia (CLIP 1)

HEI Hotels & Resorts is
one of the countrys fastest
growing hotel owners. A
privately held company, HEI
gets most of its investment
capital from university
endowments. At the same
time, workers and their
families at HEI hotels face
unfair layoffs, unaffordable
healthcare, and lack of
respect on the job.
Through UNITE HEREs
Hotel Workers Rising
campaign, HEI workers,
backed by students from
campuses across the
country, are seeking respect
Its time for our community
to find out whats going on
in HEI hotels.
and better livelihoods for
themselves and their families.
HEI workers at the
Sheraton Crystal City have
joined workers at HEIs Le
Meridien in San Francisco and
HEIs Hilton in Long Beach, CA
in their call for a fair process
for deciding whether to form
a union, without management
interference.
In each hotel where
workers have gone public,
HEI has committed a
series of suspicious layoffs
and disciplines of Union
activists.
