International Women’s Day Actions

Hyatt hurts women. That’s why this International Women’s Day, we’re speaking out.

Women workers of Hyatt Hotels struggle daily with an employer that injures their bodies, disrespects their rights as mothers, and treats workers as if they are disposable. Women nationwide have expressed outrage at unsafe and demeaning working conditions at Hyatt.  Hyatt housekeeper injury rates are high, and its subcontractors exploit immigrant women. Hyatt has opposed legislation that would make housekeeping work safer.  In San Francisco, Hyatt threatened to fire a woman who refused to return to work three days after a Caesarian Section. Last October, Hyatt fired two sisters with 30 years of combined experience, after one objected to the posting of demeaning pictures of housekeepers in bikinis on a company bulletin board.

Now Hyatt workers and allies are speaking out to demand respect for all women and their bodies in the workplace. We invite you to join in actions in cities nationwide. Taking inspiration from the Clothesline Project, several cities are erecting clotheslines as part of the actions that will bear messages and stories of the struggles women face at work. We invite everyone to bring their own symbolic items to hang on the clothesline to share their stories as well.
