UNITE HERE, Bandipora Videos

Too many hotel workers like Finance struggle to balance home obligations after the workload of a housekeeping job. We need strong health insurance to make sure we are healthy after the daily physical exhaustion of work. ⛑️

Workers should not have to work injured and still struggle with the cost of living: rent, food, and bills. This year, hotel workers in 20+ cities across the U.S. and Canada are fighting for a raise so we can provide a good quality of life for ourselves and our children. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

So many hotel workers across the U.S. and Canada feel the same way as Shamika: overworked, mentally and physically exhausted, and losing family time because of it. We fight for a better contract. We fight for better benefits. We fight for our families. 🙏

Kamala Harris at the 2024 UNITE HERE Convention
UNITE HERE, the union running the nation's largest labor-led canvassing operation, proudly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President in the 2024 election. Harris has consistently shown her unwavering dedication to working people and the labor movement. It’s Up To Us to defeat Donald Trump and his plans to divide us. WE WILL NOT GO BACK. Listen to VP Harris at our 2024 Convention:

More than 10,000 hotel workers from Waikiki Beach to Boston are taking strike votes in August – because hotel companies are making more money than ever before while workers AND guests lose out. We’re ready to fight. We won’t let them claw back our power or take the hospitality out of hotels. And we’re just getting started: more than 40,000 hotel workers have contracts up this year. Get ready for something big. Watch and join us.

Fasil’s got it right! $16 an hour is not enough in today’s economy. Hotel workers will not stop fighting for a better contract until we win. 🙅

We’re tired of missing our children’s lives due to working 12 hours a day for a company that doesn’t care about us. Hotel workers like La’Tan across the U.S. and Canada are forced to choose between family and work every day. We’re fighting against this injustice. 📢

We shouldn’t have to choose between one of life’s greatest gifts like starting a family or having to save money for that month’s bills and food. Isaac and 40,000+ hotel workers across the U.S. and Canada face hardships like these on the daily. 😤

San Francisco is one of the 20+ cities where hotel contracts expire this year. Bill, like many members, has that fiery passion in his heart to win and push for a better future! 😎

Rent and grocery prices are through the roof while workers’ wages aren’t enough. We’re fighting for a strong contract to battle inflation that affect us and our families. Companies need to respect the hard work that hotel workers do like Miguel’s tough daily routine. 💯

Hotel workers in the U.S. and Canada are taking it to the next level! Workers like Wanda deserve respect and better workloads. ✊

The last 5 years were like nothing we experienced before – but we organized our way through it. Despite the pandemic’s effect on our industries, WE ORGANIZED 70,000 NEW MEMBERS. Our incredible growth helped mitigate the industry’s efforts to reduce our power. We fought back, and we’ll keep fighting back – because we know IT’S UP TO US.

UNITE HERE & COVID: Our Fight to Comeback Stronger
We were hit hard by COVID. But rather than GIVE UP, we GAVE BACK, putting food on the table for tens of thousands of families in need. When employers refused to protect workers, we PUSHED BACK. When lawmakers failed to do enough, we FOUGHT BACK. In the depths of the pandemic we TOOK BACK 2020 — knocking on 3 million doors and calling 10 million voters nationwide. We are proud to be UNITE HERE. Watch the video of our fight to comeback stronger over the last 5 years.

Hotel workers all across the U.S. and Canada took action on May 1 💥🔥✊ It’s time for the hotel industry to respect our work - and our guests.

GET READY! 🗣️ THOUSANDS of hotel workers across the U.S. and Canada will protest on Wednesday. 40,000 hotel workers in 22+ cities have union contracts up for negotiation this year. It’s time for the hotel industry to respect our work - and our guests.

Flagship food service workers @meta San Francisco are fighting for a union contract with increased wages and the benefits that they deserve! 🗣️ SAN FRANCISCO IS A UNION TOWN! @uniteherel2

Strike City: The 2023 Detroit Casino Strike
As Black History month winds down, we take a moment to recognize that Black history is our history. And Detroit history is the history of the labor movement. In Detroit, workers were promised good jobs when the casinos were built, and the companies didn't keep that promise. But, they companies underestimated us. They didn’t think we’d strike, but we did. Watch this mini documentary about casino workers in UNITE HERE and the Detroit Casino Council rising up and demanding to be heard last fall. Through standing together and striking we won historic contracts!

UNITE HERE 2023: 20,000+ New Members
This year, UNITE HERE organized more than 20,000 workers across nearly 140 diverse workplaces—a tremendous achievement as we continue to come back stronger following the effects of the pandemic. We also won dozens of life-changing first union contracts and continue to put in the work to win great collective bargaining agreements for all of our members.

UNITE HERE 2023: Historic Victories
As the cost of living continued to rise, our members fought for and won union contracts that will change lives for the better. These great new contracts not only raise wages, but also provide for critical non-discrimination and technology language, benefits like better pensions and healthcare, and year-round work. Here’s just a taste of what we won in 2023! ( Merry Christmas!! 🎄)
