UNITEHERE Local 8

Hospitality Union of the Northwest

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.

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.

⚽️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!

“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.

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.
