Danny Glover Gets Fined for Defending Canadian Hotel Workers
Actor Danny Glover has randomly inserted himself in the union fight against hotels for better wages and working conditions.
He's been doing this all over the U.S. with the Unite Here group and he even got arrested in Canada a year ago after protesting inside the Sheraton on the Falls in Ontario.
Glover, 60, had joined three union officials who demanded to see Canadian Niagara Hotels Inc. owner Dino DiCienzo to press for guaranteed shifts and bonuses.
Canadian Niagara prosecuted Glover for remaining in the lobby of the Sheraton on the Falls in Ontario after police refused to file charges.
Because of that, Glover and a few others were convicted yesterday by a Canadian court for trespassing. They were fined C$2,000 and Canadian Niagara wants them to pay for the cost of prosecution.
We're not exactly sure why but Bryan Adams' "Everything I Do" is going off in our heads right now.
