Encore pays unfair wages, and we were back on the streets today to inform the public as we continue to fight for a fair contract. Please share to help spread the word! #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

Back in Center City today to inform the public that Encore 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

Hey Encore, can you hear us yet? We'll be outside the Marriott Hotels 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

Hey Encore, we're back here at the Marriott Hotels, 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

We were at Hilton Penns Landing today to negotiate with Encore, 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 Encore, we're taking Scabby on tour! Today we're at the DoubleTree by Hilton 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

Back at it today at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown informing the public, the hotel, and Encore '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!

Today on Scabby's tour of Encore 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 ✊️

Get this - we almost had the police called on us today at the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center. Encore, 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's stop on Scabby's tour of Encore hotels - The Rittenhouse! 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

Today on Scabby's tour of Encore hotels - The Logan Hotel! We won't stop until Encore gives us a fair contract. Join us in our contract fight and let Encore know how you feel by sending them a letter in one click at this link: actionnetwork.org/letters/encore…

Brought Scabby to the Kimpton Monaco today and spoke with some of Encore '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?

Hit the Sofitel Philadelphia 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. Encore, can you hear us yet? Send a letter to add your voice tinyurl.com/ia8encoreletter #encoreunfair #solidarity
