Summary
Unite Here Local 40 is turning Vancouver City Hall into a battleground for affordable housing, rallying thousands to protest hotel developments and demand fair treatment for hospitality workers priced out of the city. While some council members accuse them of stalling proceedings, experts say their tactics—though controversial—are a legitimate way to amplify worker voices and force accountability. With bold moves against casino expansions and hotel projects, the union is pushing back against what they see as a city favoring developers over residents, hoping to ignite a much-needed public conversation about housing and wages.
