Union in talks with Coast
June 1st, 2010
Negotiations between the Coast Inn of the West and union representatives have begun to see if there is any possibility of future work for recently laid-off employees.
The hotel’s restaurant employees were informed May 20 that their last day of work would be May 22, with the recession and economic situation cited as the reason for the layoffs.
Wayne Roberts, Local 40 Unite Here representative for the Terrace area, was in town last week to speak with hotel management and the 18 laid-off unionized restaurant employees.
“There’ll be some ongoing discussions at this point in hopes that we’ll achieve what we want to achieve on behalf of our folks,” he said of last week’s talks.
