Hit the @SofitelPhilly again today. Did you think we'd only hit each hotel once and be done? No! We'll be on tour with Scabby till we get a fair contract offer. @EncoreGlobal_, can you hear us yet? Send a letter to add your voice tinyurl.com/ia8encoreletter #encoreunfair #solidarity

Brought Scabby to the @Kimpton Monaco today and spoke with some of @EncoreGlobal_ 's clients who were shocked to hear that we haven't had a raise in four years as prices for them are sky high and continue to rise. Encore, when will you stop putting profits over people?

Today's stop on Scabby's tour of @EncoreGlobal_ hotels - @TheRittenhouse! We had a productive conversation with hotel management, who understood our need for a fair contract. Encore, when will you start listening? #encoreunfair #WeAreNotGear #solidarity

Get this - we almost had the police called on us today at the @FSPhiladelphia. @EncoreGlobal_, is this the kind of reaction you favor when your workers stand up? We simply want fair wages that keep up with inflation. Scabby's tour continues tomorrow! Where will he be? 🐁

Today on Scabby's tour of @EncoreGlobal_ hotels - @Loews_Hotels Philadelphia! We won't stop until Encore offers a fair contract. Encore, how many hotels and clients would you like us to inform before you do what's right? Our campaign continues tomorrow, see you there ✊️

Back at it today at the @SheratonPhilly informing the public, the hotel, and @EncoreGlobal_ 's clients where their money is going. We only make a fraction of what Encore charges clients for labor, and we're just trying to keep up with inflation. We demand a fair contract NOW!

Hey @EncoreGlobal_, we're taking Scabby on tour! Today we're at the @DoubleTree to let people know about Encore's refusal to offer a fair contract. We demand a wage that keeps up with inflation and conditions that treat us with respect. #encoreunfair #WeAreNotGear #solidarity

We were at @HiltonPennsLndg today to negotiate with @EncoreGlobal_, but their proposals still did not come close to keeping up with inflation or providing the fair working conditions we need. Encore, when will you finally do the right thing and take care of your workers?

Hey @EncoreGlobal_, we're back here at the @Marriott, still waiting on a fair proposal. We demand a wage that keeps up w/ inflation & conditions that treat us with respect. The public has been very receptive to our message, why aren't you? #encoreunfair #WeAreNotGear #solidarity

Hey @EncoreGlobal_, can you hear us yet? We'll be outside the @Marriott all day demanding a fair contract. Our workers work tirelessly to produce Encore's events and deserve a wage that keeps up with inflation. #encoreunfair #WeAreNotGear #solidarity

Back in Center City today to inform the public that @EncoreGlobal_ pays unfair wages. We've waited long enough - we simply want a contract that keeps up with inflation and allows our workers to thrive. And we'll be here until we get it. #encoreunfair #WeAreNotGear #solidarity

We were back out in Center City yesterday informing the public about Encore's unfair wages and our need for a fair contract. Our workers produce Encore's world-class shows and deserve to be paid accordingly! #encoreunfair #WeAreNotGear #solidarity
