Sisters and Brothers:
As workers, we know that people that have the least, give the most.
We see it every day, when janitors show up after working all night to work security at a protest march.
We see it when hotel workers work a full housekeeping shift and then rally for TSA employees during a government shutdown.
As workers we walk in each other’s shoes.
We understand how easy it is to lose a job – and how hard it is to survive when you don’t have one.
As a labor movement, we are facing this health and economic crisis head on. We are mobilized – and working hard to provide immediate help to those who need it most.
We have seen hours cut, paychecks lost, and layoffs start in the tourism sector. Our IATSE, UNITE-HERE, SEIU-USWW and Teamsters brothers and sisters have been hit first – and hit hard. And we know that this is only the beginning.
We need your help to prepare for what is to come.
We ask that you please give $5, $20, $100 or whatever you can to our Union Member Relief Program.
100% of the funds will go to union members to help keep food on the table for their families.
Will you give what you can today?
Thank you.
In Solidarity,
Keith Maddox
