New management bringing in anti-worker policies

by Brian Leubitz

This is important:

On March 21, Evolution Hospitality took over management of the Hilton Mission Valley. We succeeded in convincing Evolution to hire all 110 Hilton workers, but the company immediately subjected them to the E-Verify program.

Recently,a number of workers have been notified that their Social Security numbers did not check out with E-Verify, and nine now face deadlines of Monday or Tuesday to have their employment situation decided.

We believe the San Diego Nine, all of whom have worked at the hotel for more than a year, will soon be fired. In solidarity with these workers, we are holding a 5-day hunger strike at the Hilton Friday (04/05) through the following Tuesday (04/09). (SanDiegoNine Facebook Page)
