We are the union of hotel, restaurant and casino workers in the Washington D.C. metro region.
This January, workers at five of D.C.’s most prominent and lucrative restaurants – Le Diplomate, Rasika, Modena, Pastis, and St. Anselm – publicly announced that they are organizing for respect, stability and a seat at the bargaining table. These workers hope that restaurant owners Stephen Starr and Ashok Bajaj will follow the example of José Andrés, who voluntarily recognized the workers’ union at The Bazaar just days after they announced their campaign.
If you work in a hotel or restaurant in the Washington D.C. area, you can have the backing and bargaining power of our great union. The hotel workers represented by Local 25 enjoy great pay and benefits, job security, and the right to have a say over their conditions at work.
Every hospitality worker in D.C, Virginia and Maryland deserves to have the same rights we have. Organizing your workplace will make your family’s life better, and it will also make all of us stronger.
Stay union
By choosing to stay in a union hotel, you show respect to the workers who have fought to make traditionally low-wage jobs into good, family-sustaining, middle class jobs. Creating sustainable jobs changes the lives of the workers for the better, and supports the local economy.
