Meet the Workers

Martha Reyes

My name is Martha Reyes, and I worked at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara up until last October. I came into work one day and saw men laughing at pictures on the wall. Someone has posted images of housekeepers’ faces attached to the bodies of women wearing bikinis. I was so embarrassed. For me this is no joke. I take my job very seriously, and all I ask is to be treated with respect. Instead, Hyatt fired me and my sister for objecting to the demeaning photos, and now I may lose my home.
