Hotel Workers Protest Outside Hyatt Regency
SAN FRANCISCO -- Hotel workers picketed and held a sit-in Thursday afternoon to protest management at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco near the Embarcadero, a spokeswoman for the workers' union said.
Hundreds of members and supporters of Unite Here Local 2, which represents hospitality workers for the Chicago-based hotel chain, gathered for the protest, which was scheduled to begin at about 4:30 p.m., union spokeswoman Riddhi Mehta-Neugebauer said.
Most of the protesters are picketing in front of the Hyatt Regency, located at 5 Embarcadero Center, while dozens of others are risking arrest by staging a sit-in somewhere on the hotel's property, Mehta-Neugebauer said.
The group is protesting what they say is hotel management's refusal to agree to a fair contract with more than 800 of its workers in San Francisco.
