 AFT 2121 has “adopted” events and picket lines in Unite Here Local 2’s ongoing strike against Marriott Hotels. Marriott workers at seven hotels in San Francisco went on strike on Thursday, October 4. And are now among 7,700 Marriott workers on strike in eight cities across the U.S.—and more cities may join. Please join us in standing with our fellow workers! Please wear your AFT 2121 t-shirt when you do. Email t-shirt size to jworley@aft2121.org by Thursday at 5pm to request one. Friday, 10/19
City College faculty teaching at our Downtown Campus want to support our fellow workers on strike outside of their classroom windows! We will picket with Local 2 to show our solidarity with their strike for fair wages and working conditions. Please join us!

On October 20, you can make sure Marriott listens as hospitality workers across the U.S. and Canada say “One job should be enough!” Jobs with Justice, SF Labor Council, and Local 2 are holding a solidarity march with hotel workers this Saturday. Help us take on the biggest and richest hotel company in the world in every striking city on the same day.

Time: 9:00 am,
Meet spot: in front of Peets Coffee, 773 Market St. (between 3rd and 4th streets)

Monday, 10/22 (and every Monday until the strike is over!)
Please join us on the picket line as we show solidarity with our fellow workers every Monday from 4pm-7pm at the Courtyard Marriott, 299 2nd St., for the duration of the strike.
Local 2’s ongoing requests for support during their strike:
1) come to a picketline, any day, any time, any hotel. It makes a difference to have more people on the line and we appreciate knowing that the community has our back!
2) Bring food to the line. Special shout out for folks who bring food during the graveyard shift when not much is open.
3) donate to the strike hardship fund
4) always, always remind people to not use the hotel while we’re on strike.
