Local 8 is the the hospitality workers union of the Northwest. Our members work in hotels, food service & airport concessions. RTs do not equal endorsement.

Joined March 2012
We represent nearly 1,500 dining workers on tech campuses in WA and OR at Google, Microsoft, and Meta. All these workers secured union recognition through a card check process just like workers are now asking from Lavish Roots. The countdown to our deadline of Dec 1 continues!

Thank you to King County's @CMTMosqueda, State Rep. @OsmanSalahuddin, and Seattle councilmember-elect Foster for standing behind these workers! Lavish workers deserve the same fair process tech dining workers had at Google, Microsoft, and Meta (South Lake Union) in our region.

Tech dining workers and allies packed the room last night to announce a new deadline for @LavishRoots, Meta's cafeteria operator in Bellevue, Redmond, and SoDo. By December 1st, we demand Lavish end their anti-union campaign and agree to a fair process for union recognition!

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless $SBUX finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on Nov 13– the company's busiest day of the year.

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani on becoming the next Mayor of New York City. HTC could not be more proud of the historic campaign Zohran ran and of our members who poured their hearts into making this dream a reality. Zohran’s commitment to putting working New Yorkers above

The backbone of our organizing is the belief that one job should be enough, and we never back down from the fight for competitive wages and necessary benefits. Being a UNITE HERE union member changes people's lives!
No one should have to choose between losing their housing or losing their income. That’s why Lavish Roots dining workers at Meta are organizing to join our union and win livable wages.

If Congress does not act to pass an equitable and just budget by Oct 31, food assistance will end for 750,000 lower income Oregonians. In Oregon, we care for each other, and thankfully, many Oregonians are already working together to protect each other.

What's the true cost of a 7-Eleven sandwich?
👥 Some fresh food items sold at @7Eleven (sponsor of last weekend’s @WWWYFest in Las Vegas) come at a cost! They’re made by @LSG Sky Chefs workers who say they earn low wages & that their health care is too expensive. #SpeakUP711 📺 Courtesy: KSNV

What goes into your waffle? At Lavish Roots, it’s layoffs and low wages… Lavish Roots dining workers at Meta’s WA campuses — the people behind the famous Meta cafeteria waffles — are organizing for better working conditions and calling on tech workers at Meta to support them.
