The Hotel Strike Must go on
Local 5 issued the following statement Friday night :
Local 5 members have worked hard since the end of our contract in July to initiate a productive discussion with management about the core issues affecting our industry.
We took a step forward tonight. There is a significant distance remaining, but we know that we’re walking with a strong community of workers and allies.
Our strike will continue until further notice. Our picket lines remain strong 24/7 at all of the striking hotels. We will be conducting joint negotiations with other union affiliates next week.
We want to thank the community members, elected officials, organizations, labor unions, and visitors who have been supporting Marriott workers on the picket line every day since our strike began 20 days ago.
