Justice for Woodfin Hotel Workers
Tell the Emeryville Woodfin Suites Hotel not to fire immigrant workers who blew the whistle on their employer for breaking the law!
Workers standing up for their rights at the Woodfin Hotel in Emeryville have recently been threatened with mass firings. These workers struggling to save their jobs, and are in urgent need of support from the community.

Why are they being threatened? They are simply asking for their due under the new living wage law in Emeryville that EBASE and Emeryville residents campaigned for and was passed by the voters. They also happen to be immigrants.



The workers received notices several weeks ago saying that the company believed their social security numbers were incorrect, and giving them a deadline of October 19 to fix the problem. Thanks to an outcry from the community, the Woodfin extended its deadline by a month, and no workers have yet been fired. However, hotel managers are still insisting that they will terminate any employee who cannot correct a social security “no-match.”

Sound like a familiar story these days? The Woodfin has become ground zero in the East Bay to fight to defend immigrant rights and to defend city laws that improve working conditions.

Workers are counting on your help to protect their jobs ­ and show the Woodfin that our community will not tolerate harassment and intimidation of immigrant workers. Please support the Woodfin workers by sending a free fax to Samuel Hardate, Woodfin Suites LLC’s President, urging the company to guarantee workers that they will not be fired.
