NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario — Danny Glover has been convicted in Niagara Falls, Ontario, for trespassing in a hotel during a union rally in 2006. Glover, who wasn't in court, was convicted Thursday along with UNITE HERE union representative Alex Dagg and Ontario Federation of Labour President Wayne Samuelson.

Canadian Niagara Hotels charged the three with trespassing at their Sheraton on the Falls property during a Sept. 16, 2006, protest.

The 60-year-old actor took part in the protest as part of a larger campaign that aims to increase salaries and improve working conditions for hotel workers in the U.S. and Canada.

Sentencing is scheduled Feb. 8.

UNITE HERE represents 50,000 hotel, food service, garment and manufacturing workers across Canada and 450,000 in North America.

If we were all as courageous as Danny Glover and how he walks the walk, we'd be a much better country. Probably not even in Iraq. However, most Americans are a bunch of sheep, and some have nothing better to do than be vulgar idiots.

And, aidc... I bet he leaves really good tips.

Thanks for your work. So many wealthy people forget most of the world works hard for every little thing.

Where did the NeoCon, knuckle draggers come from that troll these pages? Why not try NeoCon rags like WorldNet Daily & the New York Times, which just endorsed two Republicans for President (Billary and Crazy McCain)?

Since you are so anti-union I expect you will give your health benefits, vacation time, retirement plan, work breaks and saturdays off back to your beloved employer. Each was EARNED FOR YOU by working people standing on a picket line. Some got their heads busted, some got killed, many went hungry and cold during lock outs. All because they held faith and stood for the dignity of working people.

Like the earlier post said, God Bless You Danny Glover. You walk the walk.

Danny Glover is a hero who actually walks the walk. But, oh wait, HRC and Obama are talking about CHANGE, and McCain says we are winning in Iraq and the f***ing democrats are giving away all of our civil rights, and Britney finally showed up for court. But, we can't recognize someone who is actually DOING something positive.
Wonder how much activism the commenters above have been involved in in the last year? Don't go spilling too many Dorito crumbs in your keyboards, a-holes.

Danny: That's what the SEIU is for, and they may not appreciate you fucking up their business. Of course, it's nice of you to think of all those poor hotels workers who pick up your dirty laundry and bring you room service. If you want to do something for them, why not leave a bigger tip the next time you and your Hollywood millions stay at a hotel?

Meanwhile, enjoy prison. There's no room service, but if you're lucky you'll get a roommate who won't try to rape your 60 y.o. ass.
