Owners and managers know – hotel strikes are bad for business. One lost client is now costing the Embassy Suites by Hilton Seattle Pioneer Square $18,500 per week. What are Hilton and Greg Steinhauer thinking? Puget Sound Business Journal: www.bizjournals.com/seattle/pres...

The fight is contagious. Last month, restaurant workers at The Walrus and the Carpenter were inspired by our strike at the Embassy Suites, walked out and stayed out until they won their contract. Now their union continues to have our back.
Big thank you to Councilmember Dionne Foster and other Seattle city officials for honoring our Embassy Suites strikers at last week's "Hotel Worker Day!" CM Foster has stood with Local 8 members time and again as a candidate and elected official.
As our strike at the Embassy Suites enters its second month, the city of Seattle issued a proclamation making July 21 “Hotel Worker Day" There is no tourism industry without us!
Hilton touts record profits, yet room service workers like Lalo get their hours cut. Cut hours means losing life-saving benefits. Embassy Suites workers are on strike until they win fair wages, real schedules, and protection from ICE.
Embassy Suites workers like Cara have been on strike now for more than 3 weeks, and they'll stay on the line until the bosses acknowledge the respect, pay, and dignity that the workers deserve!
⚽️While the U.S. men’s team is out of the World Cup, Local 8 is still fighting for a win! Fair raises and scheduling, year-round healthcare, and protection from ICE on the job. Hilton’s profiting off the Cup. Workers deserve their cut!
🪧💪 Three weeks in, Embassy Suite workers' strike is holding stronger than ever! Hotel workers are on strike until we win fair raises, year-round healthcare, safe staffing levels, and protections against ICE.
“Guests should know what’s happening at Embassy Suites Pioneer Square. There’s a strike going on all day, all night... Visit Seattle and Embassy Suites need to give people information before they spend their hard-earned money by booking at the Embassy Suites.” www.seattletimes.com/business/sea...

“The level of disrespect I experienced was unreal… I don’t recommend anyone working there until their conditions improve.” That’s why Embassy Suites workers are on strike. We’re fighting for wages, benefits, protections, and RESPECT.
We welcome the guests. We clean the rooms. We cook and serve the food. But not today. Embassy Suites workers are on strike until the company agrees to a new contract with fair raises, year-round healthcare, safe staffing levels, and protections against ICE.
Day 14 on strike and more united than ever! Seattle Embassy Suites workers are in this fight until they get the contract they deserve. 🪧
You walk up to your hotel, ready to start your vacation, but there’s a picket line?! Embassy Suites isn’t warning guests about the Seattle hotel strike… so hotel workers are making sure customers are informed. The labor dispute has led to guest demands for refunds.
Neighborhood solidarity! We're grateful for the local businesses putting up signs in support of striking Embassy Suites workers.
Embassy Suites workers need a CONTRACT! Thanks to @governorferguson.bsky.social for joining strikers on the picket line.
Thank you for your solidarity! @mayorofseattle.bsky.social moved an event rather than cross our picket line at the Embassy Suites. Hotel workers are striking until we win fair wages, year-round healthcare, safe staffing, and protections from ICE. One job should be enough!
We're proud & organized 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ Embassy Suites strikers at Seattle Pride
What do we want? CONTRACT. When do we want it? NOW. We're holding the line to win fair raises, year-round healthcare, a return to pre-covid staffing levels, and protections from ICE.
Day 9 of our strike. 3 World Cup matches to go. Do NOT eat, sleep, or meet at the Embassy Suites Seattle Pioneer Square until we win!
DAY 8️⃣ with Local 8️⃣: World Cup Hospitality Workers are on the line (and on the drums) demanding protections from ICE, fair pay, safe staffing, and year-round healthcare.
From Seattle to Philly, World Cup hospitality workers are on strike! Solidarity forever.
From demand protections from ICE, fair pay, safe staffing, and year-round healthcare, Embassy Suites workers are striking for everyone. Give to our strike fund: app.moonclerk.com/pay/4irgxeme6n…
One job should be enough. Yet I talked to workers today who are working four jobs just to get by. These workers deserve healthcare, fair pay, better staffing, and protections from ICE. Join me in supporting this strike with @uniteherelocal8.bsky.social Solidarity!
Embassy Suites is on strike. Don't check in, CHECK OUT! "We will be asking for a refund from the hotel because we're not receiving the services that we paid for." Thanks to our @uaw.org brother for having our backs!
Striking Embassy Suites workers are on the line and holding strong! We demand protections from ICE, fair pay, safe staffing, and year-round healthcare. Give to our strike fund: app.moonclerk.com/pay/4irgxeme...
14 faith community members from the @churchcouncil.bsky.social and the Faith Action Network joined our strike at Embassy Suites. Workers are picketing the Seattle hotel 6:30am-6:30pm every day until we win. Sí se puede!
Match day. Seattle is FED UP. Striking Embassy Suites workers say ICE OUT OF OUR CUP!
Solidarity to 'United Creatures of the Sea,' the indy union at Ballard's Walrus and Carpenter restaurant. They're striking during the World Cup, too, and visited our strike at Embassy Suites. Workers are stronger together! Don't cross the picket line. Read: www.thestranger.com/news/world-c...
Solidarity with our siblings at @uniteherelocal8.bsky.social who are on strike at Embassy Suites Pioneer Square. Seattle is a proud #union town!
There's more than one battle in Seattle. Tomorrow USMNT takes on Australia, and Embassy Suites hotel workers are taking on Hilton - today and every day until we WIN the protections from ICE, raises, safe staffing, and healthcare we need.
