Quotes[edit]
- UNITE HERE is a labor union that represents 300,000 working people across Canada and the United States. Our members work in the hotel, gaming, food service, manufacturing, textile, distribution, laundry, transportation, and airport industries.
- Our membership is diverse. We are predominantly women and people of color, and we hail from all corners of the planet. Together, we are building a movement to enable people of all backgrounds to achieve greater equality and opportunity.
- Actually, the correct answer is Yes, it is possible to work at a hotel and live there. From Feb 2011 to May 2012 I did just that at the small 2 star motel I worked at. No, I was not a management and yes I paid rent monthly. For those who might think it's different now, no it isn't. At the Best Western I've been at since last October, the general manager & family lives on site.
