HMSHost workers win more jobs!

In the middle of the pandemic, HMSHost reopened restaurants at the airport without seats at the bar which added workload to bartenders and kept servers from being recalled back to work. Our organizing committee got a majority of their workers in the restaurants to sign a petition to get the company to reopen the bar and work with the Union to improve the restaurant. After multiple meetings with management, workers got the company to reopen the bar seats and recall more servers! #UnionAdvantage
