UNITE HERE Local 2 is a union of over 14,000 workers in the hospitality industries of San Francisco and San Mateo. Local 2 members work at many job sites – including hotels, restaurants, food services, laundries and San Francisco International Airport. We include room cleaners, cooks, bartenders, bellmen, food and beverage servers, bussers, and dishwashers.
Health, retirement, and other benefits:
Local 2 members have fought hard to fund our health care, retirement, and other essential needs. These plans are administered by independent organizations, and not by the union itself. If you have questions about your benefits, please contact the plans directly:

Hotel Customers:
Make sure your hotel is protected from the effects of a labor dispute. Strikes, boycotts and picket lines can be noisy and disruptive. To avoid such complications, please stay at a union hotel that is NOT at risk for a labor dispute.
If you have booked in a hotel with a labor dispute and would like to relocate your event and/or accommodations, please contact us immediately for assistance. Call Quinton Silket at (415) 864-8770 x709, or email at qsilket@unitehere2.org
