Multifaith Support for Embassy Suites Picket

Embassy Suites Hotel (255 S King St, Seattle)

Unionized hotel workers are now ON STRIKE at Hilton’s Embassy Suites Pioneer Square in Seattle during the World Cup! The fight for fair wages, humane working conditions, healthcare, and protections from immigration enforcement is a moral act, and the embodiment of the inherent worth of everyone – a core belief across our traditions. Church Council of Greater Seattle and Faith Action Network are sponsoring this shift!

Embassy Suites sits next to Lumen Field, where the World Cup games are being played. Local 8 members at the hotel are fighting for a new union contract that includes:

• Year-round healthcare coverage
• Protections from ICE
• Fair raises
• A return to pre-pandemic staffing levels

Joining a picket line is a low-risk way to live out our faith in action and support workers in Seattle. Bring your marching shoes (standing or bringing a chair is also welcomed), instruments or noise makers, and homemade signs in support of the workers (signs will be available on-site as well).
