How Hotel Workers Fought For a Union -- And Won
Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies and The Nation Magazine present ‘What does a feminism for the 99% look like? Ask the hotel housekeepers who unionized a Doubletree hotel owned by Harvard. These women fought the first female president of Harvard to gain a union. They asked Sheryl Sandberg to “lean in” with them, to no effect. The class divide in feminism is dramatized in this film about their struggle, directed by Rebecca Rojer and produced by The Nation magazine.
Sarah Leonard is features editor at The Nation and editor-at-large at Dissent. She is co-editor of The Future We Want: Radical Ideas for the New Century.
