  • Hilton BoycottThe Anchorage Hilton at one time was a cornerstone in our Community. It was a place where workers were treated with dignity and respect. Once upon a time, for 30 years, the Hilton was good to its workers and helped make and keep Anchorage a vibrant community. That all changed when Kentucky-based Columbia Sussex bought the hotel and has been driving down Alaskan job standards, Anchorage families and their ability to survive in our great State.  For five years workers at the Anchorage Hilton have been fighting for affordable healthcare, safe workloads, job security protections, and reasonable wage increases in the face of out-of-state corporate employers. Columbia Sussex, owned by William J. Yung III, continues to hurt Alaska middle class families by imposing unsafe workloads on workers at the Anchorage Hilton, especially in housekeeping; a profession with higher injury rates than coal miners. Cuts to healthcare coverage of workers and increasing employee contributions further burdens Alaska workers. Workers of the Anchorage Hilton have endured over FIVE years of no wage increase!

  • AboutAbout UNITE HERE Local 878 We are the union representing over 1,100 workers in the Alaskan hospitality industry – hotel, restaurant, laundry and food service workers.

Break the RAT Rally!!!

January 11, 2013/in Uncategorized

 

Workers of the Sheraton Anchorage hotel line up to take a swing at the Remington rat.

“Thank you for joining us today in front of the rat, Remington, as we continue the good fight on behalf of the employees of this hotel and ALL Alaskans. We are making a difference, demanding fairness and respect in the workplace.

Please continue with the message and let our voices be heard. One day we will stand here united with a signed contract.

Until then, Remington knows, ‘We will be back!'”

-Fay – Sheraton Banquet Server since 1988

"We will not be defeated! We will fight one day longer! We will break the rat!"

 

And the rat did break that day, full money owed and empty promises. It stood no chance against united Alaskan workers.
