150 Heldrich Center Employees Gain a VOICE AT WORK
The New Jersey State AFL-CIO is so pleased to welcome, into our labor family, hotel employees at the Heldrich Hotel and Conference Center in New Brunswick, NJ. The employees voted to gain a voice at work by joining thousands of other New Jersey hotel workers as members of UNITE HERE! On Friday, August 1, 2008, an arbitrator declared an "overwhelming majority" in favor of the union, as 150 hotel workers joined UNITE HERE. After their celebration in the staff cafeteria, workers declared, “Let's get started on our union contract!” We congratulate and welcome our newest brothers and sisters, and support them through their first contract negotiation!
