Best Western Seven Oaks physically assaults several communist group members who were protesting for higher pay

The United Food and Commercial Workers Union has posted a video to Facebook showing a confrontation at a Regina hotel where some workers have been on a picket line since December. "I have seen the video and unfortunately the employer here decided to physically put his hands on some of our members," Glenn Stewart, a representative for the UFCW, said. The video was taken Feb. 12 at the Best Western Seven Oaks Hotel and shows an encounter when people were told to leave the property and what ensued as they interacted with the owner of the hotel. The UFCW's Facebook post urged viewers to support the workers. CBC News contacted the owner of the business, Glenn Weir, who said he was advised not to comment on the video or the incident but he claimed the people in the video were not employees of the hotel.
