Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit RI Jobs with Justice.The short explanation of this alert was:
100 former Hyatt housekeepers at the three Boston Hyatt hotels are making national news in their struggle for fairness. The “Hyatt 100” were left with no jobs when the Hyatt replaced them with low wage contractors. See the Hyatt workers in action here. Read about the Hyatt workers in the Boston Globe and USA Today.
Last Thursday, October 1 Providence City Council voted 14-0 to protect downtown hotel workers against layoffs like this. But we're not there yet, they still need to vote the ordinance through a second time, and then it goes to the Mayor's desk. The Hospitality Business Protection and Worker Retention Ordinance will require that hospitality businesses in the district retain employees in the event of a sale or subcontract of the business and maintain the prevailing wage and health insurance standards. What you can do: 1. Join us on Thursday, October 15 at 7:00 pm at Providence City Hall 25 Dorrance Street, to support the 2nd passage. That same night we'll be there urging passage of a resolution that supports Brown Food Service Workers members of SEIU 615 in their fight to retain affordable health care during their contract fight. Read more here. 2. Follow the links to send a message to Mayor Cicilline sharing your support for the Ordinance and call your Council person at (401)521-7477 and THANK them for their outstanding support for working families in Providence.
