Media Advisory: Hotel workers to Hold Rally Urging Swifties to Honour the Picket Line amid Taylor Swift’s Final Eras Tour Shows!

WHAT: On the eve of the heavily anticipated final shows of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Vancouver, striking workers at Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport will hold a demonstration on Thursday, December 5.  Protestors are urging Swifties to use alternative accommodations to avoid encountering noisy demonstrations, reduced services, and skeletal staffing.    

WHO: Striking Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport workers and community allies.

WHEN: Thursday, December 5, at 5PM. 

WHERE: Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport, 3500 Cessna Drive, Richmond, BC.

WHY: The strikers, predominantly women who have worked at the hotel for decades, have been on strike for over 1,300 days. They went on strike after 143 of their co-workers were terminated during the pandemic. Workers are striking for secure jobs to return to and for family-supporting wages and working conditions. The BC Federation of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress have issued a boycott against Radisson Blu Vancouver Airport and The Deck at Radisson Blu. 

Swifties are urged to use FairHotel.org to find a hotel that is not behind picket lines. 

VISUALS: Striking hotel workers and their supporters banging drums, chanting and marching, carrying banners, and signs.
