Locked Out Castlewood Country Club employees held a community meeting today to discuss the situation.
Locked out workers from Castlewood Country Club hosted a community forum today to discuss the stalled negotiations between club management and the union, Unite Here! Local 2850.
Local leaders including Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty was part of a panel of speakers.
"I believe in my heart it's wrong to lock people out," said Haggerty. He said employers have a responsibility to stay at the negotiation tables and to keep people at work.
