'On this May Day workers at the Omni are calling for the hotel industry to 'Respect Our Work'! We are fighting for a new contract and have the community with us all the way! We were joined by our allies in UNITE HERE Local 33, 34, and 35, New Haven Rising. When we fight we win!'

In the same cities, other workers who do similar jobs at tech competitors like Google have fought for and won higher wages and benefits that put them on a more secure economic footing in the aftermath of inflation.
Food service workers at Meta need a raise!

Yesterday, hundreds of University of New Haven workers and other members of Local 217 UNITE HERE joined together to demand UNH settle a fair contract NOW. UNH facilities workers deserve fair wages, affordable healthcare, and a safe workplace! And if we don't get it? SHUT IT DOWN.

A few days ago, we emailed President Roth asking him to meet with us to talk about how Wesleyan can help ensure dining workers receive equal treatment on our campus. Spoiler alert: he said no. But we have a few notes on his response… (1/2)
