The property is owned by the Village of Schaumburg and not the Renaissance Corporation. The Renaissance Corporation just manages the property. As long as you don’t interfere with the use of the property there should be plenty of places that you can legally protest as it is public property. I would work with the Schaumburg Police to find out where the best place is to protest/demonstrate. Perhaps along the Meacham Road entrance would be best. But be sure to point out it is public property and not private property.

As for unionization of the hotel and convention center I am neither in favor or against unionization. As long as the workers have the freedom to unionize and the village has the freedom to negotiate either with a union or individual employees it is fine with me. My main concern is that the Convention Center & Hotel costs Schaumburg taxpayers $15.7 Million per year and growing. As long as the Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center is privatized, sold and taxpayers are off the hook, labor negotiations are best left to the marketplace to work out.

hey Brian
My mother was marching at the convention center with the union that is trying to represent them they are on strike against the hotel. she said that the hotel had the police remove them from the property. the way i found this site was because i was searching to see what i beleive that this hotel is public property not private. so they should have the right to protest in public property right? i heard through the grapevine that Marriott is going to give mayor larson a job there when he retires as a mayor so he can earn over 100k. its too bad these corporations are in the politicians pockets.

Darnel-

Yes, the Village board is out of control and we need the help of citizens like you to put an end to it.

We get between 700-1400 hits per week on this site with about 300-400 unique viewers per week. Not yet enough to turn the tide, but it is a start for a website less than 6 months old.

Nobody seems to comment and I found it randomly.
