For Immediate Release
Hamilton, ON – Employees of the Days Inn in the Steel City voted overwhelmingly in favour of joining the IAM.
‘From the beginning these workers knew that getting a union could help them in their workplace,” said IAM Grand Lodge Special Representative Scott Jackson. “I can’t say enough about the great work of IAM District Lodge 78 organizers Rob North and Roy Bhansingh in keeping these employees together during a stressful period of time.”
The 11 new members of IAM Local Lodge 1295 perform housekeeping and maintenance duties at the 60 room facility in downtown Hamilton. This is the second Days Inn organized by the IAM; the other is located in London. The IAM also represents hospitality workers at hotels in Oakville, Ottawa, Mississauga, Brampton, Sarnia and Toronto.
