3/30/2009 Protest For Fired SF Grand Hyatt Housekeeper Esther Dominguez
Rehire Esther Dominguez Now!
Stop Harassing &
Firing SF Hotel Workers

Informational Picket At SF Grand Hyatt March 30, 2009 at 4:00 PM

The San Francisco hotel bosses are already getting ready for a strike when the contract expires on August 1. They have been firing and harassing long time workers and union members in an effort to get them out of the hotels if a strike takes place. One of the Unite-Here Local 2 members who has been recently terminated is Esther Dominguez who worked as a housekeeper at the Grand Hyatt on Union Square for over 33 years.

She was framed up and fired on fabricated charges. Last year, she defended less senior housekeepers at the hotel who had been mistreated and management did not forget her act of solidarity. She also has a union arbitration on her case but additional direct action is needed to let the hotel management know that they will be held responsible not only in an arbitration but on the streets if they seek to fire and harass hotel and restaurant workers.

The Local 2 Committee to Defend Fired Workers is calling on hotel workers and all working people to join the picket on Monday March 30, 2009 at 4:00 PM in front of the Hotel. You can also call SF Grand Hyatt manager David Nadelman at (415)398-1234 and let him know that Esther Domingues should be rehired now!

We need to let management know that the working people of San Francisco will not allow this anti-labor management to run roughshod over worker and human rights. Housekeepers have one of the most difficult jobs in the hotel and many housekeepers are injured on the job due to the large number of rooms they must clean and also the new beds which are difficult to move.

Hotel management cannot be allowed to intimidate and terrorize workers who stand up for their rights on the job! Labor Rights Are Human Rights.

REHIRE SF GRAND HYATT HOUSEKEEPER ESTHER DOMINGUES NOW!
