Niagara hotel workers have an advocate

Danny Glover and Niagara Hotel Workers Headed to Court


Danny Glover, the son of union organizers, does not forget where he comes from. In September 2006, during a rally, Glover and a couple of union folks entered the Sheraton on the Falls Hotel and asked for a meeting with the owner. The owner called police who refused to arrest the three and they left peacefully. Despite this, the hotel decided to pursue a private prosecution. They will appear in court in St. Catharines on October 30.

I know he's an actor but I thought he gave a pretty good speech.
