Cell phone video captured several striking hotel workers being restrained or tackled to the ground during a rally outside a Santa Monica hotel Saturday.
On Saturday, demonstrators marched from the Viceroy Santa Monica to the Fairmont Miramar Hotel. It was at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel where private security workers tackled several picketing workers to the ground. In one cell phone video, organizer Noel Rodriguez was seen being yanked, and his arm being twisted behind his back.
"Hotel security assaulted us," Rodriguez said. "They assaulted the workers, they assaulted me and a bunch of other folks. And it was actually the police who stepped in and made them stop and made them respect our right to go in and picket."Santa Monica Police did not confirm those details to FOX 11, but said that the striking workers have the right to strike on hotel property, and said that both sides knew that.
Striking hotel workers eventually did make their way onto hotel property, before rallying outside the property. During that rally, workers said the hotel played loud music, which they thought was an attempt to drown them out.Hotel workers across
