UNITE HERE Local 23 is ON STRIKE in Texas! Workers at the huge Hilton Americas hotel in downtown Houston have been on strike since Labor Day. Hospitality workers are fighting for jobs that are enough to raise a family on in the South!

By militarizing DC and threatening others, Trump is targeting Black-led cities, harassing immigrants, and ignoring an economy that is failing working people. We march to say: not on our watch. #weareDC

At the “We Are All DC” march in Washington, D.C., churches along 16th Street—the road leading directly south towards the White House—tolled their bells in solidarity. #FreeDC #Resist #ResistFascism

@unitehere.org contingent at #FreeDC March #wearealldc

Whether you spent today on the job or on the picket line... Happy Labor Day!

Last year on Labor Day Weekend, 10,000 UNITE HERE members were on strike at hotels across the country. By the end of the year, workers in 11 cities had gone on strike, ultimately winning new union contracts with affordable health care, big raises, and new workload protections.

🚨Hotel workers at the Hilton Americas-Houston have voted 99.3% YES to authorize a strike! The negotiating committee is now authorized to call for a strike any day.

Across the country, LSG Sky Chefs workers are taking action to tell 7-Eleven that workers shouldn’t have to choose between paying their bills or getting medical treatment! They have been working to negotiate a new union contract with better wages and benefits since late 2018.

We've had enough of attacks on our communities, our economy, and our democracy. Labor Day belongs to working people. We'll see you in the streets. workerslaborday.org

Sky Chefs workers are standing up today at US airports! They ensure airline passengers & crew are fed but some still must choose between food & healthcare. American, Delta, United, and Alaska airlines: Catering workers deserve 💰 Better wages 🩺 Affordable health care

Sky Chefs workers shouldn’t have to choose between paying their bills or getting medical treatment. @7-Eleven: Take action to ensure that the workers who make many of the sandwiches and salads you sell receive good wages & benefits!

Roughly 1,000 room attendants, cooks, servers, bartenders, dishwashers, and banquet staff represented by Unite Here Local 274 in Philadelphia could go on strike if they don’t get raises, more robust staffing, and pension improvements.

Ending programs like TPS & CHNV Parole threatens over 1.5M immigrants' ability to live & work in the US. It also negatively impacts the industries they work in. A message from Luana, a housekeeper in Atlantic City: As our immigrant coworkers are kept from working, guest service will suffer.

⏳🚀💫 Timehop Thursday💫🚀⏳ After a 14-month strike, workers at Sheraton Vancouver Airport announced on August 19 that they had ratified a new union contract! Congratulations to the striking workers and to Local 40 on this hard-fought and much-deserved victory!!

Andry has been released from El Salvador & returned to Venezuela: a place he fled in fear of violence. We are relieved that he is alive, but can’t say that he is safe. He has been denied due process in his petition for asylum.

⏳💫 Time hop with us to August 28, 2024, when almost 9,000 Gate Gourmet workers ratified a new five-year union contract marking the first time in our collective memory that a US President has publicly applauded a UNITE HERE collective bargaining victory!

The Trump Admin’s mass deportation policy is an existential threat to our economy. Our members see it every day. If they actually deport 1 mil people/year: 📉 3.3 million immigrants will lose their jobs 📉 2.6 million US-born workers will lose their jobs 🔗 www.epi.org/publication/...

🗽This July 4th, we celebrate our country’s founding based on the truth that all people are created equal. We know that it’s up to us to make that promise of equality hold true.

As leaders in the labor movement, our union contracts empower us in the ongoing fight equality, dignity and respect for all workers. Those who seek dismantle our strength as Unions do so with the utmost prejudice by targeting our differences. (1/2)

Happy Pride! This is a time to celebrate the strength, diversity, and contributions of our LGBTQ+ siblings.

We were proudly out in cities across the US today demanding #freedavidendraids. We are thrilled that David has been released and echo SEIU’s calls to drop his unjust charges and for ICE to immediately end their violent raids on our communities. We will win through solidarity.

DAVID IS RELEASED! Earlier today we joined thousands of people across the country to demand #FreeDavidEndRaids, and this news just came in! He still faces an unjust felony charge. The fight continues, but we are filled with joy that our friend is released! #UnionStrong
