RALLY & PUBLIC FORUM
FOR TORONTO HOTEL WORKERS

Delta Chelsea Hotel

Public Forum
6:00 to 8:00
Ryerson University, Library Building
350 Victoria Street, Room 72


On Friday November 10th, hotel workers in Toronto will be holding a
rally and public forum. Toronto hotel workers are part of Hotel Workers
Rising! an international campaign to raise the standards in the hotel
industry. Work in the service industry and the hotel industry is very
difficult. For example, many room attendants are injured at work as hotel
companies bring in heavier mattresses, more pillows and heavy duvets. In
Toronto, hotel workers have had some success at improving their jobs -
a new contract at the Sheraton Centre and Hilton hotels includes
provisions to lessen workload for room attendants. Hotel workers across the
city are fighting to ensure the higher standards of the Sheraton and
Hilton contracts become the higher standard for all Toronto hotels.

Victoria Sobrepena, a room attendant at the Delta Chelsea hotel, is
available to make class announcements or 5-minute presentations at
meetings and seminars. Please contact Ben Mantle at 416-510-0887 x 253 to
arrange for Victoria to come to your class or your meeting.

Thanks and see you on November 10th. Please help spread the word!

VICTORY&#33; for Delta Chelsea Workers
Hotel Reinstates Grievance Procedure in Advance of City Wide Action and
Public Forum

Public Forum, Ryerson University, Friday
CANCELLED....

City Wide Rally instead&#33;
Friday Nov 10, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Delta Chelsea - Yonge and Gerrard

The Delta Chelsea Hotel will not sign the union contract agreed to by
the Sheraton Centre and Hilton Hotels. We still have a fight to show
the Delta Chelsea we will not allow the hotel to undermine the higher
standards set by 2006 Toronto hotel bargaining.

Join hundreds of hotel workers as we converge on the Delta Chelsea.
Public pressure works. We forced the hotel to back down on the grievance
procedure. Now it&#39;s time for the Delta Chelsea to settle the union
contract&#33;
