Glover defends Niagara actions

    From the Globe and Mail:

    Lawyers for Lethal Weapon star Danny Glover will plead not guilty on the actor’s behalf in a St. Catharines, Ont., court on Tuesday to a trespassing charge.

    The court appearance is the result of actions related to a protest in which Glover, 60, participated in September in Niagara Falls, Ont., in support of workers at three hotels there.

    Security officers at one of the hotels, the Sheraton on the Falls, charged Glover with trespassing along with Wayne Samuelson, president of the Ontario Federation of Labour, and Alex Dagg, Canadian co-director of the UNITE HERE union, whose local 2347 represents an estimated 500 workers at the Sheraton, Skyline Inn and Brock Plaza hotels. All three hotels are owned by Canadian Niagara Hotels.
