I have added internal links to Wikipedia pages about each of the major industries represented by UNITE HERE - hotels, textiles, laundries and casino gaming.
I also added some information about the coordinated expiration of UNITE HERE collective bargaining agreements in a number of cities this year (2006). This was also reported on recently by Harold Meyerson in the Washington Post: "Taking on the Hotels"
Update 1/22/06- I also added a brief section on Yale University, with a link to the separate Wikipedia article on the Graduate Employees & Students Organization (GESO). GESO is affiliated with UNITE-HERE so I thought it would be appropriate. I also created a separate subheading for the "Hotel Bargaining" material I previously added yesterday.
12/25/06. Someone needs to add something about the Amalgamated Bank, which is owned by UNITE HERE.
12/27/06. Also, we need something about the Yale grad union and Culinary 226, 2 of the strongest parts of the union that produce a large number of the union's organizers.
5/22/07 It seems that this page has not been updated since 2006, at least in some sections. Someone with knowledge of the union's major activities in the last six months should update the relevent information.
Undid recent changes in an attempt to make the article relatively neutral again. Serimph 04:51, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
