Meet the Workers

Addelhakim Ejjair

My name is Addelhakim Ejjair. I am originally from Morocco and started working as a dishwasher at the Hyatt Regency in Indianapolis 14 years ago. Now I work as a busser in the One South Restaurant. Last year I made less than $20,000. I have two children and I have to work a second full time job in order to support my family. I want to be able to spend more time with my kids but it is impossible with my work schedule. I have to pay more than $120 per month for health insurance just for myself.  I have visited a union Hyatt in Chicago where workers have free health insurance for themselves and pay only $30 per month for their family. I support the union because I feel that Hyatt should treat all its employees equally. I work hard and I deserve the same benefits as other workers.
