There is a hotel and service worker union in the U.S. and Canada. Trumps tariffs has created a crisis in the tourism industry. Canadians are not coming to America and staying in hotels. Canadians are making Americans feel un-welcome. That Trump tries to make THE MIGRANT WORKER crisis go away,, with smoke and mirrors, points to what he REALLY FEARS – a strike by this union! How may hotel owners – all over the world – are screaming int heir phones at the Hotel Godfather;
“What the tell are you doing. We tried everything to make hotel goers go to the hotels we want them to go to – and we failed! Even the Mafia failed. Consider the Bay of Pigs and Fidel Castro! You will never own the power the Castro brothers owned. They were going to put nukes in Cuba! You will…….ATONE!
What I suggest, The Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union (HERE) identify which hotels support Marines in California, and the Republicanizing of our Armed Forces ,so as to suppress Democrats, and harass immigrants in our work system. This would help restore SANE VACATIONING, and send a message to the Trumpire, we don’t like military juntas and Dictatorships – especially when Trump keeps claiming the election was stolen!
“Hell no! We won’ go! Wont stay, in one King Trump’s Certified Coo-Kooh ‘s nest!”
If Democratic voters put $5:00 in the HERE strike fund, then workers will survive. Better yet ,the BILLION DOLLAR STRIKE FUND can be used to buy Trump’s Royal War Palaces….
THAT GO BUST!

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said he plans to make changes to his administration’s aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration to protect migrant farmers, hotel workers and others in the leisure industry who have been among those deported.
Trump promised the changes in a June 12 Truth Social post that acknowledged Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have expanded arrests beyond just migrants convicted of violent crimes, who Trump officials have said are the primary targets of raids and deportations.
The Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union (HERE) was a United States labor union representing workers of the hospitality industry, formed in 1890. In 2004, HERE merged with the Union of Needletrades, Industrial, and Textile Employees (UNITE) to form UNITE HERE. HERE notably organized the staff of Yale University in 1984. Other major employers that contracted with this union included Harrah’s, Caesars Palace, Wynn Resorts, Hilton Hotels, Hyatt, and Walt Disney World. HERE was affiliated with the AFL–CIO.

Female participation and leadership
Female membership in HERE grew from 2,000 in 1908 to 181,000 in 1950.[1] The rise in women membership reflected the feminization of the hotel and restaurant industry and the increase in the performance of waiting work by women. Women’s presence in leadership positions of HERE also increased. Waitress activists sat on the General Executive Board (GEB) from 1909 on and participated in various conventions, though as a minority status. Participation was highest in the 1920s. Though female participation in HERE dipped in the 1930s and 1940s, it was still disproportionately higher than in other unions.[2]
Women also enjoyed leadership positions at the local level. A national estimation written in 1926 held that 43 culinary locals had female secretaries; in 1944 California, 21 out of 75 locals had female secretaries, a prominent position in labor organizing.[3] Women were able to enjoy such success in HERE due to the separation of workers by trade, which provided waitress activists “space apart from male hostility and … the development of female perspectives and leadership skills.”[4] Gertrude Lane was an organizer within a local union of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees and Bartenders International Union.[5][6]
