I've been sucking for a long time now at posting, probably for lack of interesting material. It's more fun to write about things you're doing than to comment on some boring-ass news story with your own spin. I mean, I could tell you what I think of the Sarah Palin nomination, but am I going to be half as funny as Jon Stewart, half as ranty as Keith Olberman, or half as asinine as Sean Hannity (don't answer the last one)? Frankly, I haven't been writing because, when it comes to social justice, I haven't been doing much. No more.
I'm going back to the core of writing; I'm going to blog what I know. And what I know about lately is the fight here in San Francisco for hotel workers to get justice. I've been helping spur them on and I've marched alongside them, and I've seen some hair-raisin' shit. I'll be giving you a front row seat inside a good old-fashioned union fight, albeit from my particular vantage point.
Stay tuned for a weekly post from the battle to unionize the San Francisco Le Meridien and the Hyatt- Fisherman's Wharf.
