UNITE HERE Launches National Boycott of Trump Businesses

UNITE HERE, the hotel workers union, has called for a national boycott of Donald Trump's businesses. Local supporters will picket the Trump Old Post Office Hotel thisThursday at noon. The Boycott Trump campaign urging customers not to eat, sleep, or play at Trump hotels and golf courses comes in the wake of federal officials' denying objections by Trump Hotel Las Vegas  to a December 2015 union election, during which the majority of workers at the hotel voted to join the Culinary Union, the largest affiliate of UNITE HERE. "Enough is enough," said UNITE HERE President D. Taylor. "While Donald Trump waged an indefensible anti-worker and anti-immigrant presidential campaign, the workers at his Las Vegas hotel fought for dignity and respect in their workplace. They voted to unionize, they won, and now the law says Trump must negotiate."
