Safety First!
We asked the Hotel industry to negotiate with us about a SAFE reopening. Rather than deal with us in a constructive manner they are embarking on a PR campaign, telling the public that Local 2 and the city government are very unfair to them.
These are the four main elements of our proposal:
Safety First! Real protocols to protect workers and guests.
Recall rights: More senior workers can decline work without disrupting unemployment benefits.
Medical Benefits: Hotels pay for benefits beyond October 31st.
This would be a limited term agreement — for the pandemic.
The Hotel Companies responded that they have no obligation to bargain about SAFETY and re-opening.
If any question please call your field representative.
Stay safe.
