September 27, 2011
On September 8th, 86 workers at "Ames," a luxury boutique hotel in Boston, joined UNITE HERE Local 26. Ames is the 12th hotel to join Local 26 since 2000. Workers at the W hotel joined Local 26 earlier this year.
Nicholas Panagakos, a doorman at the hotel, said, "I've worked at Ames for over a year and I'm thrilled to be joining my union sisters and brothers in Local 26. We've got a lot of work ahead of us. We need to negotiate a first contract, and then we need to go out and bring more hotels into the union."
Ames, located next to Boston's City Hall, has 114 rooms and the Woodward restaurant.
