Segment 1: One Day Strike at Palmer House Hilton
UNITE HERE Local 1 hotel workers hold a one-day strike at Chicago's landmark Palmer House Hilton. They talk about big workload increases and layoffs the Hilton company is trying to force the workers to accept, this while working without a contract for 15 months.

Segment 2: Mop March for Chicago Hyatt Hotel Housekeepers
To dramatize excessive workloads, housekeepers and labor community supporters march with mops and buckets up to the entrance of the Hyatt to explain that they were there to help the housekeepers do their work. They were not allowed in, but they made their point.

Segment 3: The 2002 Averted Strike of Chicago Hotel Workers [excerpt]
Excerpts from our Labor Beat documentary "The 7,000". The huge march down Michigan Avenue, the countdown to the strike deadline, the last minute negotiations to avert the strike, the vote to ratify the contract. A testament to the power of the union and the rank-and-file.
