ALBERT BALDEO JOINS STRIKE
FOR HAMPTON & HOLIDAY INNS WORKERS AT JFK AIRPORT
District 28 candidate Albert Baldeo showed solidarity with striking
workers at the Hampton and Holiday Inn workers at JFK airport
over Independence Day weekend. The aggrieved employees, consisting
of housekeepers, room service attendants, bus boys, cleaners,
waiters and receiving clerks, were protesting their "poor
working conditions and wages," and management's refusal
to let them form unions to enhance and protect their employment.
Baldeo has joined their protest and is joining forces with other
organizations such as Local 6, the Hotel, Restaurant, and Club
employees & Bartenders Union, a branch of AFL-CIO to bring
justice to these "workers whose rights have been trampled
upon."
"We must ensure that we put enough pressure on these hotels
to stop exploiting our hard working brothers and sisters now!
Independence must not only be a word, but it must translate
into freedom, living wages, workers' rights and justice for
all Americans, not only the privileged few," Baldeo urged.
