Restaurants and Hotels

Hotel and restaurant workers are members of Workers United from Niagara Falls to Thompson Manitoba. Hotel workers face challenges specific to their work; they are often asked to lift heavy mattresses, clean more rooms than possible in an 8-hour shift, and use toxic chemical cleaners. Workers United is making hotel  jobs better, safer and healthier, through strong collective bargaining and comprehensive membership training.

Restaurant cooks, servers, and hostesses have joined Workers United to solve workplace problems. Tip-sharing is often an issue for restaurant workers; without a union, restaurant owners and management unfairly take a percentage of gratuities, leaving servers with only a portion of the tips they earned. This is unfair. Workers United members in the restaurant industry have successfully bargained to keep 100% of their gratuities. With a union, restaurant owners and managers cannot simply take tips earned by servers.
