Have You Hugged Your Unionized Hotel Worker Today?

Working at a hotel is not the most pleasant of jobs. There's an entire chapter of Nickeled and Dimed: on (Not) Getting By in America that details the daily grind of the folks who flip your mattresses, wash your sheets, clean your sinks, and cook your breakfast when you travel. It's a low-wage, high-turnover industry. UNITE-HERE is devoted to making life for these workers just a little bit better. We're going to try to block rooms first with the union hotels in Seattle.
