Hilton Boycott
The 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.

About
About 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. In Anchorage, alone, there are over 750 union hotel workers.

Being a part of a union generally means that your wages, healthcare and benefits are better than your non-union counterparts. We are also part of an international union, UNITE HERE, which is 300,000 members strong. That’s a big family working together with the common interest of securing and maintaining good jobs! In 2004, our UNITE HERE brothers and sisters created a movement called Hotel Workers Rising! The goal is to make hotel jobs, good, middle-class jobs. Because so many of us work for the same national or multi-national corporations, we realized that we should fight for our rights on a larger scale by combining our efforts. In doing so across state and national borders, we have successfully increased our strength and not only won better working conditions, wages and benefits for…
