Congressman Tonko and Congressman Murphy Join Workers Striking at the Holiday Inn Express to Celebrate Victory

After 280 days of being on strike and three months after the NLRB issued a formal complaint against the hotel owner, workers at the Holiday Inn Express in Latham are one step closer to victory. A trial involving the National Labor Relations Board’s charges against the hotel originally scheduled for Monday has been cancelled due to an anticipated settlement between the NLRB, the Company and the Union. The settlement agreement brings the promise of full back-pay for the fired workers, reinstatement, the counting of challenged ballots, the issuing for a re-run union election if necessary, and the posting of a notice in the workplace detailing a lengthy list of violations that the company will refrain from.
