Hotel Strike

by Mo Fogarty (mofo [at] yomofo.info)
Here are a few photos of some of the strikers. If you spot a friend of yours, let them know their picture is online.

I love how much support the hotel strikers are getting. On New Montgomery Street especially, most drivers honk their horns as they drive by. It's pretty stirring. I also love the mix of people on the picket lines. Real diversity in solidarity. I wish the workers all the best in getting what they need and deserve to live a decent life.

Too bad you can't hear this. The strikers are making a ton of noise. Whistles, drums, banging sticks together...

Passing drivers are more than happy to comply with this request.

A "flying community solidarity picket" has been organized by supporters of the hotel workers and will start at Union Square on, yes, Sunday, October 17 at 7PM. Go to the corner of Geary and Powell prepared to have a good time.

This will be the second flying picket. The first one was last Sunday and was great. This one will be even better EVEN IF IT RAINS! The statement is even stronger if we're facing adverse weather conditions, don't you think?

If you arrive late, listen for noise, and if that doesn't work, refer to this list of hotels:

Argent Hotel (50 Third Street near Market)
Crowne Plaza Union Square (Sutter and Powell)
Fairmont Hotel (California and Mason)
Four Seasons (757 Market between 3rd and 4th Sts)
Grand Hyatt (345 Stockton at Sutter)
Hilton (333 O'Farrell at Mason)
Holiday Inn Civic Center (50 Eighth St at Market)
Holiday Inn Express at Fish Wharf (550 Northpoint)
Holiday Inn at Fish Wharf (1300 Columbus)
Hyatt Regency(Market at Embarcadero)
Mark Hopkins (California and Mason)
Omni San Francisco (500 California)
Sheraton Palace (Market and New Montgomery)
St. Francis (Powell and Geary)

Righto.
