Gias Uddin, New York Hilton
Gias Uddin, a kitchen runner from the NY Hilton and proud Union member since 2000, passed away on April 3rd, 2020.

Mohamed remembers attending the Save the Plaza Rally, and joining the picket line at the Capri Whitestone, and also joining the boycott at the Boathouse Restaurant many times with Gias.
