120 employees affected by job action: Unifor
Workers at one of Surrey's largest hotels walked off the job after the employer refused to bargain with the union.
Job action began at 4 a.m. on May 1 after the collective agreement expired, said Unifor.
“It is a total lack of respect for the workers who make that hotel a success,” said Jerry Dias, Unifor national president. “Hospitality workers deserve good working conditions and fair compensation.”
Unifor, Local 3000 represents 120 workers in all areas of the hotel including guest services, the lounge, banquets, kitchen, laundry, room attendants and maintenance.
