WTC endorsed Campaign Unite Here Local 40 - Combating pervasive sexual harassment and assault in the hospitality industry!

July 2019

Over 200 community members and hotel workers at Vancouver City Hall on Tuesday July 23 to combat pervasive sexual harassment and assault in the hospitality industry! This an issue that the City cannot ignore! 

The City Council responded to the community on Wed July 24 by voting UNANIMOUSLY for Councillor Christine Boyle and Councillor Jean Swanson’s motion to have the City of Vancouver play a leadership role in ending sexual violence in the hospitality and service industries! 

Raising awareness about this issue is inspiring more women to speak out about their experiences, and employers are starting to take notice.
