JOIN US this New Year’s Eve! - UNITE HERE Local 40
Dear Allies,
The owners of Sparq Productions and Metropolitan Security will be holding a New Year’s Eve event at The Deck at Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport where workers are ON STRIKE! Strikers have urged them to respect their picket line and to move the New Year’s Eve party somewhere else.
Workers are striking for good hospitality jobs and for the hotel (formerly Pacific Gateway) to bring back unjustly terminated staff. The hotel raked in millions when it gave the federal government use of the facility as a quarantine site. During that time, management terminated 143 workers, or 70% of the workers. This affected nearly all the hotel housekeepers and The Deck staff. Most of the impacted workers are women; many with decades on the job.
Crossing a picket line on New Year’s Eve is a lousy way to ring in 2024. Let’s send a message that hospitality workers deserve respect in the new year!
Join us on Sunday, Dec 31st at 6pm!
Ring in the New Year by telling party organizers it is NOT okay to cross a picket line!
If you can’t make it to the protest, please urge Sparq Productions (contact@SparqProductions.com) & Metropolitan Security (securities@telus.net) to move their party and to respect workers fighting for dignity on the job.
Happy Holidays!
UNITE HERE Local 40
