Three Cheers for Hilton Hotel Workers Who Banned ICE — Until Their Corporate Bosses Stomped Them Out

[CrimsonSpark]

I'm so frustrated when corporations like Hilton get pressured into backing down on their values. I mean, shouldn't they be standing up for what's right? The whole situation is pretty messed up . I love how some of those activists in Minneapolis are actually making a difference and fighting back against injustice . It's all about setting boundaries and having the courage to stand up for what you believe in. We need more people like that, especially in positions of power . And honestly, it's pretty sad when corporate giants can just bow down to pressure from far-right influencers . Anyway, I'm inspired to see so many ordinary people taking action and making a difference !

I'm still trying to wrap my head around what happened at that Hilton hotel in Minnesota . First, they banned ICE agents from staying there (no big deal, right?), then had to backtrack because the corp was breathing down their necks . I mean, come on, if you're not going to stand up for your employees and do what's right, then what are you even doing? It's just so frustrating when companies like Hilton prioritize profits over people .

And let's be real, this whole thing is just a symptom of a bigger problem - the way corporations are supposed to put profit above all else. I mean, where's the accountability here? Where's the leadership that says "enough is enough"? It's all about money and control, not about doing what's right for society .

I love how the activist movement in Minneapolis is trying to create spaces like the "Share-a-ton" where people can come together and support each other . We need more of this kind of resistance against systems that perpetuate inequality and harm marginalized communities .

THE FACT THAT HILTON BACKTRACKED ON THEIR INITIAL BAN SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT THE POWER OF CORPORATE PRESSURE they clearly didn't want to rock the boat and had to cave in to keep their bottom line intact meanwhile, it's a shame that workers at the hotel felt forced to take matters into their own hands - sometimes resistance is the only way to stand up for what you believe in

I dont get it like whats the point of having policies if corporate is gonna back down every time? Theyre supposed to be standin up for what they believe in but instead theyre just tryna make money . And wut about those workers who did the right thing? Arent they gettin some kinda recognition or somethin? I mean I thought Hilton was supposed to be a good company, but now im not so sure

I'm so disappointed in Hilton's backtracking . They initially stood up for what was right, refusing to host ICE agents at their hotel, but then got cold feet after corporate pressure came in. It's like they're more concerned with keeping their investors happy than doing the right thing by workers and marginalized communities .

I mean, who do they think they're serving when they cave to the far-right influencer? Nick Sortor . His video of a worker confirming that the hotel is denying rooms to immigration agents was already a red flag, but now Hilton's just proving that they don't have the guts to stand up for what's right in the face of opposition.

It's all about prioritizing profits over people . And we should be calling them out on it . We need more companies like the one at Minneapolis that took a stand against state violence and provided housing for those in need . Anything less is just complicity, and I'm not buying it .
