Donate to the Local 17 Hardship Fund
Minnesota is under attack by Federal ICE Agents who are indiscriminately targeting people of color. Our members are fearful of going to work, sending kids to school or even leaving their homes regardless of their citizenship status.
Right now we are supporting over 200 members and their families with food and mutual aid. WE NEED YOUR HELP — Please support this hardship fund as we expect the need for it to grow in the coming weeks.
UNITE HERE Local 17 is Minnesota’s Hospitality Union! We represent more than 6,000 workers in hotels, restaurants, 
sports complexes, convention centers, and the airport in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and surrounding suburbs. We are proud to be a diverse union, comprising workers from many immigrant communities speaking more than 17 languages. Our priorities are to negotiate great contracts for our members, empower workers to have a voice on the job, and organize non-union workers. Through organizing, UNITE HERE Local 17 is helping to turn traditionally low-wage jobs into good, family-sustaining, middle-class jobs.
UNITE HERE Local 17 is affiliated with the UNITE HERE International Union, which represents more than 270,000 workers in the United States and Canada. The hospitality workers of UNITE HERE provide the very best customer service while fighting to secure the wages and benefits we deserve and a real voice on the job.
UNITE HERE Local 17 Members will continue to shape Minnesota in the coming years. We strive to gain the best wages and benefits in the hospitality industry and we succeed!
