Seattle DSA Labor Committee

My immigrant mama worked in housekeeping to keep our family afloat. The work she did was anything but “cushy.” In fact, it led to chronic pain and piles of medical bills. I stand with @NYHTC as they fight for a contract that honors their labor and lets them afford NYC.

The NYC hotel industry is launching a $500k ad campaign ahead of their contract expiring with our union. A representative for the hotel industry reportedly “raged” over our “cushy” union contract in an attempt to build sympathy for billionaire hotel owners and international corporations. The truth? Nothing about hotel work is cushy. It's back-breaking work, done by hardworking New Yorkers who are trying to survive in an unaffordable city. SupportHotelWorkers.com
