Support and Rally For Hyatt Workers

[Andy Manos]

In the last two years of contract negotiations in Chicago, Hyatt has refused to budge on crucial demands to curb subcontracting and ease working conditions for housekeepers—demands met by Hilton and other hotel employers citywide. In response, Hyatt workers have stood up and made tough sacrifices by striking and calling for hotel boycotts.

Now, Hyatt is telling workers in Chicago: end your boycott, or we’ll cancel your health care. In so doing, Hyatt is forcing workers to choose between their families’ immediate medical needs and a fight for their long-term survival. It is worth noting that this all comes back to our favorite 1%er Penny Pritzker.

PROPOSAL:
Occupy Chicago will support this action. We will rally at Jackson and LaSalle and Jackson at 2:30 and then march to join the 3pm rally with the Hyatt workers at 71 S. Wacker.

Sorry the Date for this action is 12/15.
