On November 10, HEI workers picketed the Sheraton hotel in Arlington, Virginia with supporters from the nearby union Embassy Suites, Doubletree, and Hilton hotels. Workers marched outside chanting:

¡El pueblo unido, jamas sera vencido! ¡Sheraton, escucha - estamos en la lucha! HEI, rich and rude, we don't like your attitude!

As Sheraton workers marched, students took action on their campuses in solidarity with HEI workers! Students from across the country responded to the action alert from United Students Against Sweatshops. Students sent over 850 faxes to the HEI Sheraton Crystal City in support of the workers’ demands, and over 850 e-mails and faxes to university administrators!
