JVP-South Bay supports local labor

The South Bay chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace turned out at the Hyatt Regency hotel and the Santa Clara Convention Center on July 2nd to support the hotel workers' efforts to form a union, in the face of the Hyatt corporation's opposition.  Over three hundred people demonstrated for several hours in front of the Hyatt.  Jewish tradition has a strong history of support for labor unions and workers' rights.
