On Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2008, a rally by hotel workers, and their supporters, was held in front of the City Hall, in Baltimore, MD. It was part of a Hotel Workers Rising Campaign, which seeks to bring equality to the men and women who cook, clean and serve in hotels throughout North America, according to the groups press release. Since April, 2006, the workers at the Sheraton Baltimore City Center Hotel, owned by Columbia Sussex, have been without a contract. They are calling for a boycott of their own hotel, the press release further stated.

After the rally, the activists marched to the Sheraton City Center Hotel, near Harborplace, which is about seven blocks west of the City Hall. Trent Leon-Lierman served as the organizer of the spirited event and Ms. Roxy Herbekian was the moderator.
