Hotel Bargaining
UNITE HERE has fought for substantial wage increases for workers in the tradionally low-paid hotel and tourism sector. UNITE HERE also supports making it easier for workers to join unions through voluntary card check recognition agreements with employers, where the employer agrees not to oppose its employees joining the union and agrees to recognize and bargain with the union after a majority of its employees sign union membership cards, rather than requiring a more costly and time consuming election supervised by the National Labor Relations Board.
