We, wedding vendors, will NOT do business at Hilton Metrotown until the hotel resolves the lockout and returns workers to their pre-pandemic jobs.

Recently, Burnaby Now broke a story about how hotel workers staged a mock wedding at Hilton Metrotown to urge couples to “put a ring on it” somewhere else. Hilton Metrotown has long been a popular wedding destination for couples looking to tie the knot. But the hotel terminated almost 100 long-term workers and locked out the rest in spring 2021. It's been almost a year that workers have been on the picket line to save their jobs. Many of them are women of colour who worked at the hotel for 10-20 years.

But the good news is, Hilton Metrotown workers have received widespread support from the Mayor of Burnaby, BC Federation of Labour, BC’s biggest unions, and community organizations to not cross the picket line until it respects workers and brings them back to their original job conditions.

Wedding vendors can make a difference by pledging to support Hilton Metrotown workers fighting for better, safer working conditions. Sign the petition today to support BC's Hilton Metrotown workers!
