Apparently Hyatt doesn’t value its room cleaning staff one cent above minimum wage, because what they’ve done is to outsource all the housekeeping jobs to a minimum wage company that provides no benefits to its workers. If that’s the priority Hyatt places on its room cleaning services, do you want to stay there again?
Here’s a link to the WBZ story on the layoffs.
Some of the workers who lost their jobs had been with Hyatt for over 20 years. So please take two seconds to sign this online petition and send a message to Hyatt that you’ll use another hotel in the future.
Please share widely!
I’m told by some of my techno geek friends that this story is going viral what ever that means…………so’s here is the great NPR story that ran on the first day.
…means it has been forwarded, shared, linked by many people and is spreading from site to site and inbox to inbox very quickly, in other words like a virus.
Thanks for all the support from BMG readers!

Signatures are still coming in fast, and someone emailed to suggest we put up a page with statements from politicians and candidates. Right now it seems like a good idea. Feel free to email webmaster@hyattboycott.com if there’s a statement you’d like to see posted. Hope to have that new page up sometime tomorrow.
