Hotel Workers Rising

Hotel Workers Rising -- A report from the Silicon Valley campaign

Workers at the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara are calling on Hyatt to accept a fair process to enable them to choose whether or not to join a union without employer intimidation. Hyatt has refused.

Union committee leader Rigoberto Gutierrez, and Sarah Julian, organizer for UNITE HERE! 19, tell Michael Hejazi about the campaign and support it is receiving from community organizations. Campaigns are under way at five non-union Hyatt hotels nationwide. Workers in non-union facilities complain of disrespect from their management, low wages, unaffordable health insurance and high room quotas for room cleaners.
