[GPSCC-chat] Fw: Will You Stand By Women Who Stand Up to Hyatt?

[John Thielking]

Apparently these women were not fired for union organizing.  They were fired for much less of a reason. Click on the link at the bottom to sign the petition.

Subject: Will You Stand By Women Who Stand Up to Hyatt?

 
 
Dear Friends,
When I arrived at my job as a housekeeper at the Hyatt Hotel Santa Clara one day in September, I heard my co-workers laughing at a photo collage posted on the wall. I saw a photo of my face edited onto the "sexy" body of a bikini-clad woman holding a surfboard. A similar faked image of my sister Lorena had also been posted.
I was humiliated, and I took down the photos of my sister and me. I wouldn't give them back, and I said that if anyone wanted the photos back they would have to get them from me in court.
Days later the hotel fired both Lorena and me.
Lorena worked at the hotel property for 24 years, and I worked there for seven. We both had excellent work records. I have five children and legal custody of three grandchildren, and I'm now in danger of losing my home.
My sister and I have started a petition to demand that the Hyatt hotel give us our jobs back with back pay for the time we have been without work.
We did not deserve to be fired. We just want to be treated with respect.
Tell Hyatt CEO Mark Hoplamazian to reinstate us with back pay now!
Sincerely,
Martha Reyes 
UNITE HERE, 275 7th Ave., New York, NY 10001
