"A coalition of local labor unions and elected officials is calling for a boycott of Airbnb, saying the company is suing to force a refund of $120 million in business tax money that San Francisco desperately needs. In a rally at the company's Brannan St. headquarters, led by SEIU Local 1021 and IFTPE Local 21, the coalition asked San Franciscans to delete their Airbnb accounts and refrain from using the company's services and rentals at home and on vacation."
""Airbnb, who has made billions of dollars, starting with San Francisco... not only profiting from our housing prices, they are now also trying to rob us with this lawsuit," she told us. "Funding that is for our food security programming, that is to make sure we safeguard against further Medicaid cuts, clean safe streets, our libraries, our public transit-all of this could be funded if Airbnb just dropped their lawsuit.""
A coalition of local labor unions and elected officials is calling for a boycott of Airbnb after the company filed to reclaim $120 million in business tax revenue that San Francisco says it urgently needs. The coalition rallied at Airbnb's Brannan Street headquarters, led by SEIU Local 1021 and IFTPE Local 21, and urged residents to delete accounts and avoid using Airbnb services and rentals. A banner cited tax avoidance, Trump cuts, and the housing crisis. The groups say Airbnb profited from the city's appeal and tax codes and that the reclaimed funds would worsen a near $800 million 2025 budget shortfall.
