What's New (last updated 04/24/2009)
The following are Local 30 officers:
Proposition 8, which allow only men and women to marry in the state
of California, has passed with a slim margin in the 11/04/08 election.
UNITE HERE, the labor movement and LGBT believe that this
California Amendment is pure and simple discrimination. Our Union
believe equality for workers is just as important for gay and lesbian.
Doug Manchester, owner of the Manchester Grand Hyatt, spent a
great deal of money to place the proposition on the November ballot
and to push for the amendment. Manchester is discriminating against
his gay workers and discriminating against women by forcing
housekeepers to clean more rooms than housekeepers do at other
Hyatt Hotels. The workers at the Manchester Grand Hyatt also do not
have job security. We will continue boycotting the Manchester Grand
Hyatt. We are going to stand with the workers at the Manchester
grand Hyatt and the Gay community until the Hyatt ends the
hypocrisy and discrimination. Our Union has regular picket line and
rally at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. We will be fighting and
boycotting the Hotel until we win.
