Winner: The Unite Here Local 30 Hotel Union
A clear winner: the Unite Here Local 30 union, which represents about 600 hotel workers at the Hilton Bayfront San Diego, went on strike the day before Comic-Con started. The hotel was sold out for the event and was set to host many panels and press junkets throughout the convention, making it a high-pressure situation to work with the union to deliver an acceptable contract. Showing that once again, solidary will often produce results, the hotel management delivered a contract that was deemed acceptable by union leaders and started the vote/ratification process in the hours before the convention started. The workers returned to the hotel, and the union won a fair contract for its members. W is for Workers Rights.
