BOSTON’S HOTEL AND FOOD WORKERS UNION ENDORSES MAYOR WU

Union Credits Mayor with Long Record of Partnership; Is First Private-Sector Union to Endorse Mayor

Boston, MA – The Boston-area hotel and food workers union, UNITE HERE Local 26, today announced their endorsement of Michelle Wu’s candidacy for Mayor. The 12,000-member union is one of the most diverse and politically powerful organizations in the City of Boston, playing key roles in recent municipal races. According to Local 26 President Carlos Aramayo: “Affordable housing, clean air, and making sure one job is enough to raise a family on – these are Mayor Wu’s priorities and they are, without question, hotel workers’ and food workers’ priorities. Hospitality workers are ready and eager to begin knocking on doors with Mayor Wu to achieve these goals.”

UNITE HERE Local 26 was an early backer of Michelle Wu when she first ran for Boston City Council in 2013. Since then, the Union has worked closely with Wu on everything from successfully crafting regulations regarding short-term rentals to support on picket lines leading to one of the highest standards of living for hotel workers in the country. The Mayor was instrumental in helping to secure recent major victories for hotel workers, which included $10 wage increases and landmark job protections in historic contracts citywide.

“Thank you to the hardworking hotel and food workers of UNITE HERE Local 26 who keep our city running everyday and whose inspiring leadership has changed the lives of families across Boston and beyond. I am honored to work in partnership with the members and leaders of Local 26 advocating for families across the city so that one job should be enough, and Boston can be a home for everyone,” the Mayor said.
