Now, HEI workers are fighting back! In February 2009, workers at the Sheraton Crystal City in Northern Virginia joined HEI workers at the Le Meridien in San Francisco and Hilton Long Beach in a national campaign for fairness. Supported by student activists and local community leaders, workers presented their general manager with a demand for a fair and democratic process for deciding whether to form a union, without management interference.
For January's JUFJ Fair Purple Line Working Group meeting we're taking a spin on things and taking a tour in Langley Park and then eating lunch at a local Indian vegetarian restaurant. The tour will include a visit to La Union Mall, walk through the apartments of Langley Park that will be greatly affected due to the development around the Purple Line and TLC Sector Plan, seeing the Multicultural Center that is being built in the heart of Langley Park, and (depending on time) visiting some local residents. After the tour we will go get some lunch and celebrate the work we've accomplished in our first year of the Fair Purple Line campaign.
We will be meeting at the Takoma Metro at 10:30am on Sunday, January 17th to carpool into Langley Park together.
Please RSVP to Lindsay at linz.morris@gmail.com.
