A Night On Us: Airbnb Announces Program To Support UAW members on Strike
Building on the A Night on Us program extended to federal workers during the 2019 government shutdown, Airbnb will give striking United Automobile Members who host on Airbnb an extra night’s income.
The Offer will extend to United Automobile Workers striking in the United States who host on Airbnb before December 16th.
For the second time since the Program’s creation earlier this year, Airbnb will activate its A Night On Us campaign, to support striking United Automobile Workers (UAW) members who host on Airbnb.
UAW members who host stays of at least three nights or an Experience between September 16 – December 16, will get an extra night of income on Airbnb. The offer is also open to UAW members who are new to hosting if they create an accommodation or Experience listing and receive bookings before December 16th.
“Our host community is the heart of Airbnb, and we want to support them during this time of uncertainty,” said Greg Greeley, Airbnb’s President of Homes. “It’s a small thing we can do to stand with our hosts when they need it.”
Starting today, as part of A Night On Us, Airbnb will offer striking UAW members who host extra financial support equivalent to the price of their listing up to $110 (to approximate a typical nightly rate in the U.S.).
Eligible hosts can sign up for A Night On Us here and UAW members who are not currently hosts can learn more about creating their first listing here.
Airbnb has long been a tool for economic empowerment. According to an annual survey of U.S. hosts, 55 percent of hosts share their home to help afford to stay in their home.
