Hotel Talks Set to Resume
WASHINGTON (AP) - The clock is ticking toward the presidential inauguration, and with that in mind, both sides in the hotel workers contract dispute go back to the bargaining table Thursday.
About 3,500 workers at 14 upscale D.C. hotels have been working without a contract since Sept. 15. The bellmen, housekeepers, cooks and others have voted to authorize a strike against the Hotel Association of Washington, D.C. That group represents properties including the Washington Hilton and the Marriott Wardman Park - both of which host inaugural balls later this month.
It's been almost a month since the last round of talks. Union spokeswoman Amanda Cooper says they'd like to settle the contracts before the inauguration. But association spokeswoman Lynn Lawson vows the hotels will be ready "one way or another."
Sounds like the UNIONS are about to pay back the repubs for getting elected to office.
The UNIONS don't know it but their days are as numbered as the slimy media. They never should have sided with the democrats.
Rush said something today about the unions donating 95% of their membership dues to the democrats .. while 80% of their members voted republican.
