Our #MarriottStrike is growing. Not only are workers staying strong and united on the picket line, but we’re going out into the community and saying One Job Should Be Enough for everyone.
Yesterday’s victories:
- Striking workers joined students and faculty at UH Manoa to rally in front of the School of Travel Industry Management. We delegated the school’s Dean and educated him about our strike and One Job Should Be Enough.
- Moana Surfrider workers gave a class presentation at UHM about why we’re on strike. Students were moved to tears and shared stories about their parents who work in hotels.
- More solidarity from other Local 5 members and unions! Thanks to Hawaii Nurses Association, Hyatt Centric, Kaiser, and so many others for joining our picket lines.
- Pastor Makaio from Ohana Family of the Living God came to our picket line to bless our strike.
