UNITE HERE! Local 8
@UniteHereLocal8
Local 8 is the the hospitality workers union of the Northwest. Our members work in hotels, food service & airport concessions. RTs do not equal endorsement.
At @fenwaypark, the home of the @RedSox, concession, warehouse & other workers are ON STRIKE for the first time in history!
Happening now: @fenwaypark & @MGMMusicHall workers are on strike to win a grand slam of a contract! Fenway pays workers peanuts, and we’re out here to change that.
SOLIDARITY REQUEST: Workers at @Meta cafeterias in Washington are organizing a union! Sign the petition to show your support and call on Lavish Roots and Meta to respect workers’ right to organize! actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell… @UniteHereLocal8
