When corporations refuse to negotiate, workers fight back. But bosses starve us out, threatening eviction and hunger to force us into bad deals. SB 8 / HB 6904 gives striking workers a fighting chance. Tell Connecticut lawmakers to act! local217.org/sb8

We're letting Hartford know that when we strike, we do it for all workers. SB 8 / HB 6904 makes sure we have security while standing up for fair wages and dignity.

UNITE HERE is on the move! Wednesday at the Capitol—we're pressing legislators and Governor Lamont to pass SB 8 and protect the working class in Connecticut. We'll be back next week—stronger every day!

"I am the mother of five young children. Why should I have to choose between drowning and fighting for what’s right when billionaires make more every day? What makes my family less important than theirs?" - Samantha Cedeno, Central Connecticut State University

“I am the mother of three. Billionaires want me to make a choice: do I stay out on strike and risk getting evicted? Or do I agree to a contract that doesn’t make ends meet for my family?” - Carly Ortiz, Southern Connecticut State University

"The striking workers bill makes the choice clear for Governor Lamont: he can stand up for working people and expand the middle class or he can go along with the billionaire attacks on the rest of us." – Carla Valatti, Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale nhregister.com/opinion/articl…

SB 8: We Can't Wait! We had more people than ever to join our New Haven delegation to deliver 1,300 letters to the Governor to call on him to support SB 8.

What side are you on? When corporations refuse to negotiate, workers fight back. But bosses starve us out, threatening eviction and hunger to force us into bad deals. SB 8 gives striking workers a fighting chance. Stand with workers!

"The machinists’ strike at RTX makes clear that we all have a stake in these fights. We may not be out on the picket line... But our interests are being decided on that picket line. Our community’s future is on that line. SB8 recognizes that simple truth." courant.com/2025/06/02/opi…
