We've taken care of Seahawks fans for years. Embassy Suites might not let you know workers are on strike but we will. Skip Lumen Field's closest hotel this season while we're on strike for fair wages and workloads, year-round healthcare and immigration protections.

Superbowl champs don't cross picket lines. DO NOT eat, sleep, or drink at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Pioneer Square while we're on strike.

As significant repeat business pulls and support for our strike grows, we're on the line with supporters marking 2 months on strike at the Embassy Suites - the longest hotel strike in Washington history. If we don't get no contract, you don't get no peace!

During the Minneapolis ICE surge, Hilton said ICE agents were welcome to stay at its hotels – they even removed their brand and loyalty program from one hotel after it cancelled agents’ bookings. Now Hilton won’t promise to tell us if ICE comes to Embassy Suites by Hilton Seattle Downtown.

Workers can’t afford the status quo. Seattle’s hospitality industry can’t afford a long strike. Hilton and Steinhauer can afford to end the strike. Read our strike impact analysis: unitehere8.org/strikeimpact/

Owners and managers know – hotel strikes are bad for business. One lost client is now costing the Embassy Suites by Hilton Seattle Pioneer Square $18,500 per week. What are Hilton and Greg Steinhauer thinking? Puget Sound Business Journal: www.bizjournals.com/seattle/pres...

The fight is contagious. Last month, restaurant workers at The Walrus and the Carpenter were inspired by our strike at the Embassy Suites, walked out and stayed out until they won their contract. Now their union continues to have our back.

Hilton touts record profits, yet room service workers like Lalo get their hours cut. Cut hours means losing life-saving benefits. Embassy Suites workers are on strike until they win fair wages, real schedules, and protection from ICE.

You walk up to your hotel, ready to start your vacation, but there’s a picket line?! Embassy Suites isn’t warning guests about the Seattle hotel strike… so hotel workers are making sure customers are informed. The labor dispute has led to guest demands for refunds.

Seattle Convention Center union employees handed out leaflets to pedestrians on January 31st. Workers say wages are too low, while Seattle's cost of living continues to rise. Management is even proposing medical plans with higher out-of-pocket costs for some workers.
