trackback
The first round of contract negotiations for Silicon Valley hotel workers started in early July. Currently, San Jose housekeepers and dishwashers typically earn around $24,000 each year while the cost of basic needs for a family of four is over $65,000. Hotel workers deserve a dignified future in Silicon Valley.
Workers and community members will march on September 4 for livable wages, humane workloads, respect, and dignity for all hotel workers. Let’s send a message that the entire community stands together for justice!
When: Thursday, September 4 at 4:30 p.m.
Where: Meet in front of San Jose Convention Center at the water fountain.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES!
