"Enough is Enough!"

On Thursday, we attended an action at the Hyatt Regency Chicago to demand justice for the workers of that hotel (and at Hyatts across the country). This struggle began when housekeeping staff at a Hyatt in Boston were forced to train temps who they were told were going to be on standby to sub in during the holiday season. All of them (approx. 100) were subsequently fired after having trained their own replacements. When workers at the Hyatt in Chicago were threatened with the same fate if they did not agree to concessions (wage cuts, benefit cuts, etc), the community decided to step up to say "Enough is enough!" Check out pics from the event below, and see more in our photo album on our Facebook page.
