There are four things you can do right now:

Hyatt Hurts

US union Unite Here is calling for an global boycott of Hyatt hotels. Hyatt has a very poor track record on workers’ rights, particularly those of immigrants and women.

Hyatt has fired whole hotels full of loyal staff, who have been forced to train replacements on worse terms and conditions.
Hyatt turned heat lamps on striking workers during a heat wave
Hyatt fired two housekeepers with years of experience after they tore down digitally-created images of their faces pasted in bikini-clad bodies

…and the catalogue just goes on and on, which is why Hyatt workers are asking supporters around the world to:

Boycott Hyatt
Vote Hyatt the worst hotel employer in America

There are Hyatt hotels around the world. In the UK, there are two in London and one in Birmingham. Let’s turn the heat on Hyatt, and support Hyatt workers as they stand up together and refuse to accept abuse from their employer any more.
