BREAKING NEWS: tonight’s State Democratic Committee adopts resolution – no to Hyatt facilities

September 29, 2009 By AmberPaw

The Foxborough Town Democratic Committee passed a resolution against doing business with Hyatt Corporation due to the firing of its long term employee housekeepers after said housekeepers were deceived into training their non-employee replacements.

A representative of said Foxborough Democratic Town Committee proposed that the Massachusetts State Democratic Committee adopt the resolution passed by the Foxborough Democratic Town Committee and not do business with the Hyatt Corporation.

Said resolution was proposed, seconded, and passed unanimously tonight!

Hopefully, the full text of this resolution will be posted on the Massachusetts Democratic Party Website or the Foxborough Democratic Town Committee Website in the near future.

    Dear Chairman Walsh,
    >
    > I am writing to bring to your attention the following resolution  
    > passed by the Foxborough Democratic Town Committee at it’s meeting  
    > last evening:
    >
    > Hyatt Resolution
    > Adopted by the Foxborough Democratic Town Committee on 9/21/2009
    >
    Be it hereby resolved that the Foxborough Democratic Town Committee  does hereby condemn the actions of the Hyatt Company for its mass firing of housekeepers in Boston and Cambridge; that we particularly condemn the actions of said company for having regular employees train temporary employees to cover for regular employees’ vacations, then use those newly trained temporary employees to permanently replace the regular employees.

    Therefore, we urge all Democrats to avoid using Hyatt facilities, and specifically call upon the Massachusetts Democratic State Committee and the Democratic National Committee> not to use Hyatt company facilities for any business.Pursuant to this resolution, we are requesting that our resolution be made known to the DSC members at the September 29th meeting in Marlborough. Further, we believe that it is appropriate for the DSC to adopt a formal position against the use of Hyatt facilities at  
    that meeting.

    This is great news. The Boston City Council resolution passed unanimously as well.

    <

    p>Traffic to our Hyatt boycott site has been the highest to date, with visitors from 46 states, with about 100 more signing our petition just today. There is a huge rally / march scheduled in Boston tomorrow with a ton of labor organizations sponsoring, and it will end at the Hyatt at 5:30.

    p>People are just fed up with corporate abuses like these.

      Corporations as fictional people may or may not be a basis for the current waste, abuse, and outright robbery of the rest of us by a fairly hereditary class of corporate elites.

      <

      p>What is clear is that the public is fed up, I am fed up, and that America is being sucked dry not by  big government, or liberals, or even Republicans – but by corporate greed that has expanded to the point of nearly destroying the middle class, government revenues, and the American system of decmocracy.

      I wonder if the Cambridge Hyatt has been boycotted by Cambridge taxis.

        If Cambridge has business with the Hyatt that it no longer wants to conduct that’s fine, but taxis shouldn’t be allowed to tell a potential passenger, “Sorry, I’m not taking you there.”  Even if they did all the passenger would have to do is give the address for the next block or around the corner then walk the rest of the way.

          I was just wondering if Cambridge would do the same.
