Making a true labor day of it

For San Francisco hospitality workers who are members of the union UniteHERE, it's not a vacation day, it's a day to picket their hotel workplaces. Per the Chronicle:

Housekeepers, hosts, bellmen, servers, cooks, dishwashers and market assistants are striking at the 1,921-room Hilton Union Square, the city’s biggest hotel, as well as the Grand Hyatt San Francisco, Grand Hyatt at SFO, Palace Hotel and Westin St. Francis.

 

There was plenty of spirit. 

And lots of energy.

Workers don't respect hotel owners pleas of poverty ... and there sure seem to be plenty of tourists gawking in Union Square.

Lots of local politicians showed up, as the smart ones do. I particularly liked the obvious delight on the face of Supervisor Connie Chan, up for re-election in the Richmond District.
