Hilton may have settled with Unite Here Local 5, but in San Francisco the union’s Local 2 has been strike against several hotels for nearly two months old with little apparent progress toward an agreement.
The union has called on visitors to honor their picket lines and boycott the targeted hotels.
• Grand Hyatt San Francisco Union Square
•Hilton San Francisco Union Square
•Palace Hotel (Marriott Luxury Collection)
•San Francisco Marriott Union Square
•Westin St. Francis (Marriott)
Workers on strike included housekeepers, bellhops, cooks, dishwashers, servers, bartenders and others,
5I walked over from our hotel to pick up an Enterprise rental car for our last several days before flying home.
There’s a row of car rental offices directly across from the San Francisco Hilton, one of several companies where unionized employees have been out on strike for nearly two months.
I was surprised to see there has been a virtual news blackout since the end of October. An online search of the San Francisco Chronicle found no news stories since the end of October, when dozens were arrested at the end of a march from the Hilton to nearby Union Square.

WOW! Hard to believe this has been camoflaged and blocked from our news media… but then, the media has paid an inordinate amount of ink and air time to U NO HOO, lately…;-(

Legacy Media is telling us what we need to know, which is opposite from what they report. So, a no report reports “leaders”, who are not the ones we voted for, are breaking up unions and keeping workers subservient.
A groundswell of support for workers, as in Kapiolani nurses and Hilton workers, is only way to fight back. Boycott legacy media is a good start.
