Hotel Workers’ Faces Show Pride, Determination to Win Justice

Photojournalist David Bacon has captured the pride and determination in the faces of hotel workers at the downtown Hilton in San Francisco who have spent the past few weeks in a dawn to dusk picket line.

The workers, who chant to guests, “Don’t check in, check out!” are demanding that the hotel’s owners negotiate a new contract with their union, UNITEHERE! Local 2.

San Francisco’s largest hotels are demanding cuts in health and retirement benefits and increased workloads.

A typical San Francisco hotel worker earns $30,000 per year.

These are their faces—all races and ages, together on the picket line.
