Last month, their legal team filed papers petitioning the 3-member Board in Washington, DC to revoke the investigative subpoenas issued in this case.The hotel owners have flatly ignored demands for reinstatement, back pay, and union recognition directed at them in a letter signed by prominent politicians, including a member of the US House of Representatives, the Manhattan borough president, a state assembly member, and various state senators and city council members.Settlement negotiations have been ongoing for months, and Park Lane Hotel continues to drag its feet.Meanwhile, unemployment insurance has run out, and many of the workers find themselves in an increasingly-desperate situation. A former bartender remarks:“I was fired for exercising my federal right to request union recognition. Instead of following the law, the Park Lane hotel fired myself and my coworkers. It's been eight months and the NLRB has yet to charge the company. As a result, I had to drain my 401K savings just to make ends meet.

Salute on May Day from Unions of Our Own 😊🚩🏴

Screenshot black text, white background: No occasion or symbol in labor is more commemorated by
working people in every corner of the globe than May Day. In Mex-
ico, Bolivia, Vietnam, Korea, Ghana, Egypt, Italy, Australia—and I
could go on and on—working people take to the streets to advance
labor’s cause and to recall a struggle that took place in the late 1800s.
These incredible risings on May 1, International Workers’ Day, are
occasioned by a union-building effort, a tough and protracted one to
say the least.4

screenshot black text on white background: Workers in Chicago were resisting the dehumanization they
were experiencing amid the aggressive rise of industrial capitalism.
In this cauldron, workers at International Harvester, the dominant
manufacturer of the equipment used on farms, were forming a union.
A rally took place in Chicago’s Haymarket Square in solidarity with
the workers’ strike.
The tension was high because the International Harvester cam-
paign had connections to a broader movement for a worker-centered
society to replace capitalism. Violence broke out at Haymarket and

screenshot of black text on white background: radical unionists were framed for it. The state executed four of them—
the Haymarket martyrs who are honored each year on May 1.
You want to talk about protracted union campaigns? It took fifty
years. But workers did ultimately prevail and form a sustainable union
at International Harvester. All the while they held aloft the martyrs of
Haymarket and the global solidarity ethos of the first of May.5
