Dear Allies
Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport workers are waging Canada’s longest hotel strike, surpassing 1,300 days on the picket line. Their fight began when the hotel terminated 143 long-term workers, mostly women, after decades of service despite making $33M from the federal government when the hotel was used as a temporary quarantine site.
During the strike, management has repeatedly violated the Labour Code. The BC Labour Board has ruled against the hotel for using impermissible workers andissued a cease-and-desist order against management earlier this year for intimidating and threatening strikers on the picket line.
The workers are standing strong for job security, justice, and fair treatment. The workers are not just fighting for themselves but fighting for all workers to show that corporations cannot treat them like they’re disposable.
This is the strikers’ fourth Christmas on the picket line. This holiday season, support the strikers by donating to Local 40’s strike fund. Funds raised will be used for hardship emergencies and other strike-related support.
