Thanks to one of our tuned-in viewers, we received a tip about an interesting website called ”UnionFacts.com”.
The site reveals some serious allegations of mischievous behaviours within UNITE HERE that stem from the very top levels of the organization in the U.S.
While Vancouver’s UNITE HERE Local 40 was busy leveraging a strike notice to negotiate their collective agreement with the Big-Four hotels last month, it appears that their brothers and sisters in senior union leadership probably had other things on their minds.
Corruption, union dues misappropriation, unfair labour practices, ties to organized crime...the list of allegations (and convictions) goes on and on. Talk about feeding stereotypes!
Check out UnionFacts.com for more revealing information, or you can check out another iteration of the same site at UNITE HERE Exposed.
