    Local 2 Takes to the Streets on Labor Day. Over 130 Arrested. Part
    1. Hundreds of hotel workers and their allies took to the streets
    this Labor Day to demonstrate their growing impatience with the San
    Francisco Hotels Multi-Employer Group, which is taking a hard line
    in negotations with Local 2. Over a hundred were arrested as they
    blocked cable car traffic around Union Square, in the heart of San
    Francisco's tourist district. Three weeks after the expiration of
    Local 2's citywide contract, the MEG still refuses to guarantee
    maintenance of health care benefits, and is trying to weaken San
    Francisco workers by dividing them from hotel workers throughout
    North America. Local 2 members will take a strike authorization vote
    on September 14. QT movie. 3.5 min. 13MB. Parts 1-3 are below.
