UNITE HERE Local 26

Subfreezing temperatures are no match for solidarity!
Banquet & Convention Services workers picketed outside the
@seaportboston.bsky.social hotel yesterday because they need a #FairContract now! #SolidarityForever

#tbthursday – drumming up buckets of support for the Fenway picket line 🥁

@aramark.bsky.social workers at Fenway Park & MGM Music Hall have been fighting for a fair contract for almost a year. Together, we're going to keep fighting until we WIN fair wages & job security! #WhenWeFightWeWin

Having a #UnionFamily means being able to celebrate, converse, and be part of a community with hundreds of sisters & brothers. We are thankful that our Local 26 family has been growing bigger every year. See you at our upcoming membership meeting! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #UnionStrong #1Union

Whether you're spending time with your birth family or your chosen family, we wish everyone a thoughtful and thankful season. 🍁 🍂

The fantastic five – MIT dining workers in the Union Hall! They work together to make sure management is following the union contract. ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼✊ #UnionFamily #UnionStrong #ItsBetterInAUnion

Tell your representative to pass the Protect America's Workforce Act. Call your rep: 855-493-4407 | AFL-CIO

The Protect America’s Workforce Act, our bipartisan bill to restore union rights to 1 million federal workers, is getting a vote in Congress!

Call your reps NOW and tell them to pass this bill and reverse the Trump admin’s union-busting executive order. https://bit.ly/4r6Ep9M

One Day Stronger! @sbworkersunited.org is stronger than any Starbucks coffee 💪🏽

"666 is a weird number there, Starbucks CEO!" 😂
The devil is in the details.

#NoContractNoCoffee

Technology in the form of vending machines, grab-and-go items, & self-checkout counters @fenwaypark.bsky.social is eating into workers’ earnings & taking away jobs. We need guardrails!
Shoutout to Superman for his support of @aramark.bsky.social Fenway workers who went #OnStrike this summer. 🦸🏽🪧⚾️

Shop Stewards are the backbone of our Union. They enforce contracts, handle grievances, and sacrifice their time to make sure everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Pictured here are some of our fabulous hotel workers and key leaders! #UnionStrong #sísepuede

Boston is a Union Town!
Many thanks to members of the @uaw.org, Boston @pslweb.bsky.social, and the MIT Graduate Student Union for joining our picket lines during the @aramark.bsky.social workers' strike at Fenway Park. We are always grateful for your solidarity & support. ✊ #1union #solidarity

#ItsBetterInAUnion
Our Local 26 family includes these hardworking and smiley concessions workers at Rhode Island's T. F. Green International Airport! ✈️ #uniondrip #warwickri

Welcome Emmanuel College dining workers to the Union! They won the Local 26 University standard and ratified their first union contract today. 🎉 #unionstandard #unionstrong

Meet our #unionfamily from the Narragansett School System, representing elementary, middle, and high schools! #rhodeisland #oceanstate ⚓️

Our union's evergreen message: One Job Should Be Enough — enough to pay all our bills, enough to feed our family, enough for us to retire with dignity. #unitehere #LaborDay2025 #WorkersOverBillionaires #OneJobShouldBeEnough

🔊Strike Alert! Don't Buy Starbucks!

"The beginning of the strike coincides with Starbucks’ Red Cup Day, a promotion where customers receive a reusable red holiday cup with the purchase of a holiday drink. It is typically one of the company’s biggest sales days of the year."

#NoContractNoCoffee

As the holidays approach, please remember the people who work tirelessly to make the holidays happen for everyone across the country. Like all workers, they should be able to feel safe on the job and be treated with dignity and respect.

People go to @fenwaypark.bsky.social for that wicked local Boston experience. The ballpark’s charm comes from its old-timey vibe that encourages fans to interact with real Bostonians in all their humor & candor. Workers went on strike in July because automation ​is taking away #unionjobs ⚾

Snapshots of our Union family at @babson-college.bsky.social, proudly buttoned up and united for the Local 26 University Standard! #unionproud #UnionStrong #1Union

Friendly reminder for @aramark.bsky.social:
Concessions and warehouse workers earn higher wages at less iconic ballparks where the Miami @marlins.com and the Seattle @mariners.com play.
It's time to raise the bar for workers' pay at Boston’s Fenway Park! #fairwages #faircontractnow

Out-of-state sports fans & members of the @redsox.com Nation
love going to @fenwaypark.bsky.social, not just for the game but to interact with their favorite workers. @aramark.bsky.social workers at Fenway deserve to be paid #fairwages for their dedication & hard work! #FenwayFamily #FairContract

👏👏👏

Congrats to Boston Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social, Boston City @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social & Cambridge Vice-Mayor @marcgov.bsky.social on incredible victories last night. Every neighborhood members volunteered in saw incredible voter participation for our endorsed candidates. Congrats Local 26!

Last Saturday, hotel workers at the Hilton Boston Back Bay
resoundingly ratified their contract. Congratulations on winning the Local 26 hotel standard! 👏🏽 #sisepuede

“The work we do helps make their business possible. That’s why we’re calling on 7-Eleven to tell Sky Chefs that we need a new contract with better wages and health care that we can afford.” – Josefina Rebollar, @culinary226.bsky.social porter at Sky Chefs @LASairport #StandUp711

November 1st, 2024:
Hotel workers at the Hilton Logan Airport celebrated with cake the day after ratifying a historic contract with their union siblings at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza, the Hampton Inn/Homewood Suites Boston Seaport, & the DoubleTree Boston-Cambridge!
🍰 🥳 #throwback

Every worker knows: there's nothing scarier than not being in a union.
Have a Happy Halloween and treat yourself to some sweet union candy! 👻 🎃 🐈‍⬛

Thank you @TenantsFirstNYC for sharing lessons from New York City!

Thank you to the Boston City Council for an informative hearing on Boston’s Short-Term Rental ordinance. We agree w/@councilordurkan.bsky.social, @lizbreadon.bsky.social & @gigi4district1.bsky.social that exemptions here are difficult to enforce and NYC’s ordinance could be a model for Airbnb.

@aramark.bsky.social workers at Fenway Park and MGM Music Hall take care of fans and customers from Boston and all over the world. They deserve a raise for their hard work! #fairwages #fenwayfamily

Everyone thinks AI is replacing factory workers, but Amazon’s layoffs show it’s coming for middle management first | Fortune As Amazon slashes 14,000 white-collar roles and the U.S. approaches a million job cuts this year, AI’s first major labor casualty might be emerging.

Solidarity is key to making AI work for working people - because with no guardrails, it’s coming for everyone’s jobs. We all need to stand together to make sure companies are working with us on AI, not replacing us with AI.
