Danny Glover convicted of trespassing

Glover participated in a 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 on Sept. 15th last year. He and UNITE HERE union representative Alex Dagg and Ontario Federation of Labour President Wayne Samuelson were convicted Thursday.

Canadian Niagara Hotels charged the three with trespassing at their Sheraton on the Falls property during a Sept. 16, 2006, protest. Sentencing is February 8th. Maybe next time he will just settle for a Hilton Head rental?
