Gabriel Diaz, Sheraton New York
Gabriel Diaz, a room service server and Delegate at the Sheraton New York, has sadly passed away.
Those who knew Gabriel remember him as a warm presence, hard worker, musician, and a loving husband and father.
Garde manger and Delegate Eladio Acevedo worked with Gabriel for almost 30 years and remembers him as a fierce Delegate for his coworkers. “Gabriel was a defender. I call him that because at work, Gabriel would always stand up to management and defend his coworkers. He became a Delegate because he was committed to being a voice for his fellow Union members. He helped people raise issues at work, and made sure people had the resources that they needed. He loved our Union and would often go to events and rallies to fight for us. They way I see it, he had two jobs: he would serve the guests as a room service server, and he would serve the members as a Delegate.”
