The actor Danny Glover was convicted on Thursday of trespassing in a hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario during an union rally in 2006. He was convicted along with UNITE HERE union representative, Alex Dagg, and Ontario Federation of Labour President, Wayne Samuelson.
The three people were charged with trespassing at a Niagara Falls hotel during a Sept 16, 2006 protest. The protest was part of a larger campaign to increase salaries and improve the working conditions for hotel workers in the U.S. and Canada. The UNITE HERE organization represents 50,000 hotel, food service, garment, and manufacturing workers in Canada and 450,000 in North America.
