Hotel Workers In Many American Cities Now On Strike, Can't Earn Decent Living

Some 10,000 hotel workers began on Sunday a Labor Day weekend strike after contract negotiations with hotel operators Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott broke down, the Unite Here union announced.

Hotel workers in more cities were expected in the coming days to join the strikes that affected some 24 hotels in eight cities on Sunday, as workers push for higher wages and against "COVID-era staffing and service cuts," per a union statement.

Cities affected by the strikes that are expected to last two or three days include: Boston, Greenwich, Honolulu, Kauai, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose and Seattle.

"Strikes have also been authorized and could begin at any time in Baltimore, New Haven, Oakland, and Providence," per Unite Here.

Workers say their wages "aren't enough to cover the cost of living, and many have to work two jobs to make ends meet," according to Unite Here.

"I have to work a second job because my job at the hotel is not enough to support my kids as a single mom," said Mary Taboniar, a housekeeper at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu for six years, in a statement carried by the union.

"I'm living on the edge where I'm not sure if I'll be able to pay our rent and groceries or provide my family with health care. It's so stressful. One job should be enough."

Elena Duran, a server at Marriott's Palace Hotel in San Francisco for 33 years, said since the pandemic began, "they're expecting us to give five-star service with three-star staff."

Over 40,000 hotel workers with the UNITE HERE union have contracts up for renegotiation this year in more than 20 cities across the U.S. and Canada, and additional strike votes may be announced.

According to the State-run media, and the US government, the economy remains stable as ever. No problems they say.

The DoD is too busy supplying covert NATO mercs being bombed in Ukraine too protect average American citizens, didn't you hear?

I don't often do this , but there is one particular fag here spamming up this board way too often , so FILTERED it shall be.

>>21531331

Try waking these flamboyant idiots up and get back to me on that. Some of them are so stuck deep in their own delusions it is next to mission impossible. It is hard to have sympathy to a horse that died of thirst after having led it to plenty of water to drink, know what I mean?

>>21531351

Non-denominational. I do believe in Jesus as savior but I'm not an expert when it comes to Bible study or anything like that. I do pray daily though.

>>21531408

I don't know what would. Maybe driving me to suicide from insanity could break me and my belief in anything. Been close to it at times, won't lie. Sometimes I just have to shut all this out, world is too crazy and I believe the Devil runs this planet anyway. Luckily we are only here so long.

>>21531409

So it's them that are a threat to democracy all along, sure. Complete lying hypocrites.

Glowies must be here again, spamming the board like crazy over something. Now to figure out what has happened and why…..

>>21531462

All mega-churches are corrupt, especially anything to do with the Vatican. Christians should beware most modern churches do grift, and even many are spies for federal agents at the FBI and DHS as "clergy response teams" who make note of anyone they consider "extremists" just be aware.

CNN is state-run media. They blame EVERYTHING on Russia. It's actually humorous as it is pathetic.

Just because they wish to censor us doesn't mean we will go back to believing any of their outright bullshit propaganda. People will find other places to express themselves. Wack-a-mole.

Poland Says It Has 'Duty' To Shoot Down Russian Missiles, NATO Leadership Warns Against

Poland's foreign minister has sparked fresh controversy and intense discussion within the NATO military alliance by saying that member states have a 'duty' to shoot down incoming Russian missiles when they are in Ukraine's skies threatening the population below.

"Membership in Nato does not trump each country’s responsibility for the protection of its own airspace – it’s our own constitutional duty," Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski told the Financial Times. The comments appeared to shirk off the possibility that such action risks major escalation with Russia.

"I’m personally of the view that, when hostile missiles are on course of entering our airspace, it would be legitimate self-defense [to strike them] because once they do cross into our airspace, the risk of debris injuring someone is significant," the Polish top diplomat said.

This isn't the first time the issue has arisen, but Russia's recent ballistic missile and drone attacks across all oblasts of Ukraine, including in the West near Lviv, have significantly stepped up, leading to more border incidents and close-calls directly impacting neighboring Poland.

He further explained that when a Russian missile threatens to fall in Poland, it is safer to the Polish population to shoot it down while it is at a higher altitude in Ukraine's skies. Sikorski has said of this plan, "Ukrainians have told us: you’re welcome."

Some Western officials have warned that this would move the red lines too rapidly, and get NATO too directly involved, likely triggering direct war with Russia. But a defense analyst in Kiev, Mykola Nazarov, pushed back against this, telling FT, "We’ve seen that some red lines can be moved."

>Labour is one of the only Western parties that have recently won

Yah, because the so-called "right wing" party over there were all extremely leftist anyway, pro open borders, pro 'green new deal' economic destruction, pro-war & pro-draft, politically correct idiots and corrupt to the core. So voters got pissed and voted that obvious blatant controlled opposition out.

What's wrong with wanting to make America great unless you have the intention to destroy America?

>>21531632

OK, let's say these rumors are true and entertain them for a while….. WHY A LOCKDOWN!?!? Isn't that what the WEF/Davos 'green new deal/great reset' says they want? Global lockdowns and the destruction of private transportation/ freedom to commute? Lockdowns? Really?

>>21531659

Yep, so are several restaurants, retail chains and even local chains too. The economy is imploding. I don't know how most American's don't wake up to it before the election day honestly, it is getting so obvious. Tens of thousands of lay offs, just this year so far.

>>21531006

She'll never be my leader though. I won't listen to her and won't obey any demands. The county will simply further balkanize and be destroyed from within, nothing more would happen. Maybe a world war may take care of our problems if DC got nuked ironically.

>>21531760

They have America's permission to nuke DC, go for it, we'll forgive you this one time.

>>21531767

All grift at the expense of human life.

>>21531754

Good luck you anon, keep you head up and do not give up, our enemies residing in DC are doing their very best to destroy us, bankrupt us, even kill and replace us with the third world. Hope you have some preps to fall back on in hard times.

Very well said.
