We Won't Back Down: UNITE HERE Local 40 President Backs Up Members Calling on Government for Urgent Help

My name is Zailda Chan and I am the president of UNITE HERE Local 40.  Last week, the CBC invited a member of our union to speak on live television to talk about the economic impact of the pandemic on workers like her across the country. The hospitality industry has been the hardest hit, with over 90% unemployed, and will be the last to recover. 

We support Nym Calvez who said what many workers in our industry have told us: While we appreciate Trudeau putting money into our pockets right away, $2000 is not enough to live on for more than a few months, whether you have a family to support or you’re on your own.  This economic reality affects all communities. Workers of all backgrounds have expressed the same concern: $2000 is not enough.  Before the pandemic, workers were already living paycheque to paycheque in one of the most expensive cities in the world. These economic pressures have only worsened with this crisis. 

Why should we feel ashamed to tell our stories as immigrants, as women, as working people fighting for a better life? In fact, more working people should tell powerful politicians what we need to get through this economic crisis. 

I have come to learn of extremely hurtful and offensive language towards Nym. I am deeply troubled by the hateful nature of these remarks.  This is unacceptable.  How can we remain quiet while thousands of hospitality workers went from having a steady job to having no income overnight and will remain in this situation far longer than any other industry?  

Together, we will support each other, we will speak out, and we will continue to fight for a better future for all hospitality workers.
