San Diego San Diego Hotel Workers and LGBT Community Boycott Manchester Hyatt! 2008-07-16 Hotel Workers and LGBT community unite to fight discrimination against gays and lesbians and workers.On July 10th, UNITE HERE and LGBT leaders announced a full-scale boycott of the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego. The coalition is calling for Hyatt to take action to correct a record of discrimination against workers at the hotel. Manchester’s Hyatt forces housekeepers to clean more rooms than housekeepers at other some Hyatt hotels, and workers at the Manchester Hyatt have no job security if the hotel is sold. The owner of the hotel Douglas Manchester, has also funded discrimination against the LGBT community. Manchester donated $125,000 to a political committee supporting Proposition 8, a November ballot initiative in California that seeks to make it illegal for loving gay and lesbian couples to marry. Hyatt should fire Manchester for Discrimination! http://www.gaylesbiantimes.com/?id=12573 http://www.cbs8.com/stories/story.134006.html http://weblog.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20080710-9999-1m10boycott.html |

“The doctor gave me a note for my employer ordering that I be placed on ‘light duty’… The managers, however, did not change my assignment and I continued working with the chemicals and cigarette smoke that my doctor told me could harm the baby. Shortly after, I had a miscarriage. The doctor performed an ultrasound and told me that the baby had not properly developed. I will never forget the final image of my baby’s body.”” - Rosa Delgado, Housekeeper, nonunion LAX Hilton |
