From Niagara This Week:
Hollywood actor Danny Glover travelled all night from California to show support for unionized hotel workers Saturday only to be threatened with arrest for his efforts.
Glover, who is best known for his role in the Lethal Weapon movie series, has been involved with the Hotel Workers Rising campaign, which highlights the often poor working conditions in the hospitality industry, for some time now.
He arrived in Niagara Falls early in the afternoon to attend a solidarity rally by Unite Here Canada, a union which represents hospitality and some trade workers, to protest the management’s treatment of employees at the three hotels owned by Canadian Niagara Hotels: Sheraton on the Falls, Brock Plaza and the Skyline Inn.
