we all know i'm NOT going to patronize

the marriott

another hotel to the list

now i'm going to add Hyatt hotel fires entire housekeeping team and outsources

They could get jobs on Wall Street or as lobbyists with this kind of sneaky trick. There are plenty of business hotels to choose from so keep this horrible story in mind the next time you book.

Several hundred hotel workers and their supporters turned out yesterday for a raucous rally in front of the Hyatt Regency Boston for the 100 housekeepers who were fired by the hotel chain. Politicians called for businesses to boycott the Hyatt, and workers banged on drums, rattled detergent bottles filled with rocks, and chanted “Hyatt, shame on you’’ as they marched in front of the hotel with picket signs.

Why were they fired? Was it a "cost cutting" move so that the top brass and piggish stockholders could make even more easy money? If so, I'll join in the boycott!

According to an earlier Globe article, the new housekeeping staff earns $8 an hour with no benefits. So yeah...don't stay there.
