in fact, seiu-uhw 's approach stands in stark contrast to the productive progressive relationships that representing our employees. >>> in san francisco 500 hotel workers took to the picket line today to protest contract negotiations between their union and marriott hotels. 75 demonstrators were arrested for civil disobedience. the union says the hotel chains profits have risen by 200% since the recession 10 years ago and workers wages have gone up 7% during the same time. >> it is hard for people. i've lived though, it is hard. no medical, nothing. that is what they want, they want to take it away from us. >> reporter: marriott declined to answer any specific questions, instead providing us with a general statement saying that marriott is negotiating in good faith and in a timely fashion to obtain the best outcomes for associates and guests. >>> at a rally before the union, representatives announced their negotiated committee organized a strike vote set for september 13, if contract negotiations continue the way that they have been, workers could call for strike later in the month. >>>

in fact, seiu-uhw has an approach that stands in stark contrast -- contrast to the productive progressiveelationships we have maintained with many other unions representing our employees. >>> it is scary and in my heart i felt like it would work out eventually. >> after five months being held in jail in nepal, a bay area man is finally back home, the story behind his arrest and his release, coming up at 5:30 pm. >>> plus, it is my heritage, that was a sign of our heritage, the past, the future, and now it is gone >>> outrage in the south bay after a beloved mural is painted over. >>> and priceless artifacts go up in flames, a massive fire rips through brazil's national museum, a look at what was lost, next. >>> checking out the weather out there, nice sunshine today throughout much of the bay area, even patchy conditions at the coast with some sun. as we go into the work we, what you can expect, coming up after the commercial. >>> new information now, one person is confirmed dead following a small plane crash in nevada. the plane went down yesterday in a remote mountainside south of reno

beginning negotiations that said dear julie, during last year's collective bargaining sessions with seiu, uhw, we discussed cpmc's plans to rebuild our facilities in san francisco. the union representatives recognized the importance of those plans but they were concerned about what might happen to your jobs when the new facility opens. we understand those concerns and agreed to a strong employment security language in your contract. i am writing you today because there's some confusion exactly about quotation, employment security means. it is simple, all seiu representative regular employees, who are employed on the date of your contract was ratified march 18th, 2010, will continue to have jobs at cpmc when the the new facility weres built. so if you worked at cpmc in march and working for us when the new facility opened, you are guaranteed employment with the same or greater pay than you will be earning then and number two, you will have no reduction in hours unless you ask for a change. also, cpmc has no intention to interfere with your right and union representation. thank you for your har
