Students continued their campaign to get Yale to CLEAN UP ITS ACT and take a stand against HEI. On Wednesday November 11, about 30 students, Yale union members, two members of Local 217 who work at the Omni Hotel, and community supporters gathered outside the Vice President’s office with Peter Ho, a houseman from the HEI San Francisco Le Meridien. Peter Ho and a student delivered a gift basket of cleaning supplies HEI while others fliered and chanted outside. Yale police prevented others from entering the building to delegate the Vice President, helpfully escalating the action to where we know she got the message. The group then went to the Yale Investment Office to demand that Peter Ho be allowed to speak to the people responsible for funding his union-busting company, but the police were already waiting—according to one of the police officers, the investment office even shut down the elevator to keep students and Peter from entering their office!
