IndyTV #8 - The Rochester Plaza Boycott
Channel: Rochester Indymedia
Date: 2016-08-11

IndyTV interviews Reverend Kaaren Anderson from CLUE and Maggie Spallina from UNITE HERE! about the current boycott against the Rochester Plaza Hotel. The campaign at the Plaza hotel is interesting because the demand is not that the hotel to become unionized, but simply for management to agree to a set of standards that would create a level playing field for discussing the pros and cons of unionization. Watch on to see the problems workers face when trying to form a union, how labor laws create an environment that significantly favors management over unions and their supporters and what is being done in Rochester to challenge that.
