NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario - Danny Glover has been convicted in Niagara Falls, Ontario, for trespassing in a hotel during a union rally in 2006. Glover, who wasn't in court, was convicted Thursday along with UNITE HERE union representative Alex Dagg and Ontario Federation of Labour President Wayne Samuelson.

Canadian Niagara Hotels charged the three with trespassing at their Sheraton on the Falls property during a Sept. 16, 2006, protest.

The 60-year-old actor took part in the 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.

Sentencing is scheduled Feb. 8.

UNITE HERE represents 50,000 hotel, food service, garment and manufacturing workers across Canada and 450,000 in North America.

“.....campaign that aims to increase salaries...”

Hey Gloveracist-

Economics 101:

Forcing increased salaries in violation of the rules of the market, leads to a decreased number of jobs. Everytime.

But you felt better about your hip and caring self, and you had a shiny little badge to brag about among your fellow shallow, talentless thespians. And what could possibly be more important than that?

Well I take it back. He doesn’t kiss Chavez’ posterior continually 24/7. My mistake.

I thought he was destroyed in The Team America Incident.

Or maybe that was Samuel Jackson...
