Rally to Rehire Esther Dominguez at SF's Grand Hyatt
Local 2 Committee Defends Fired Hotel Workers
Hotel and other workers and students are rallying to the case of fired Grand Hyatt Houseskeeper Esther Dominguez. Esther was fired after working 33 years at the hotel. Labor organizers claim that hotels have been firing and harassing long time workers and union members in preparation for a possible strike when Unite-Here's 7,000 hotel workers contract expires on August 1st. Last year, Esther Dominguez defended less senior housekeepers at the hotel who had been mistreated and organizers believe her firing is related to the solidarity with other workers that she has shown. She has union arbitration on her case but The Local 2 Committee says additional direct action is needed to let the hotel management know that they will be held responsible if they seek to fire and harass hotel and restaurant workers.
