Will 20 subcontracted Hyatt workers be tossed onto streets days after the Super Bowl?
Imagine coming into work one day and being told you would only be allowed to do your job for three more weeks. Then imagine that those three weeks would be the hardest, longest hours you had ever worked. Imagine that your boss would be making millions of dollars during that time while you made poverty wages.
At the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, workers don’t have to imagine it.
On January 19, Hyatt announced plans to cut ties with the subcontractor, Hospitality Staffing Solutions (HSS), informing staff that the last day for subcontracted workers would be February 8—just three days after the Super Bowl. Some of the twenty staffers whose jobs are now in jeopardy have worked full-time at the Hyatt for nearly a decade. So far, Hyatt has refused to hire them directly.
Hyatt’s announcement came just days after a number of subcontracted hotel workers stepped forward to file a federal lawsuit against the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, HSS and ten other hotels, alleging wage theft.
During the Super Bowl, hotels like Hyatt are slated to make millions. Room rates at the Hyatt are expected to cost over $1000 per night. Yet Indianapolis hotel workers are among the lowest paid hotel workers in America.
Send an email to Hyatt CEO Mark Hoplamazian and the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis General Manager Brian Comes to demand that the Hyatt hire subcontracted workers directly!
