Dear Friends in Jewish, Labor and Civic Organizations:
The union that represents restaurant and hotel workers, Unite Here Local 11, has implemented a boycott against area Hyatt hotels. Accordingly, we request that you honor Unite Here Local 11's current boycott of Hyatt hotels in our area, especially the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, Century City, Hyatt Andaz West Hollywood, and the Hyatt Regency Long Beach.

Workers at these hotels have been without a contract for over eight months. Workloads have become unreasonably heavy in Hyatt hotels. Without proper safety standards, we're seeing unprecedented worker injuries at hotels nationwide. Hotel workers suffer the highest rates of industrial injury - more than miners and firefighters. Why should it be more dangerous to make beds than to fight a raging fire?

We must send a strong message to Hyatt hotels and those who choose to exploit working women and men. Please honor this boycott by not booking your events at Hyatt hotels, pulling out and changing venues if you have an event booked at one, and not attending any events at these hotels. The Jewish Labor Committee pulled our annual fundraising brunch from the Hyatt Century Plaza this summer and held it at a union-friendly venue. We'll be happy to assist you in relocating to an appropriate union venue.
An updated boycott list and more information can be found at www.unitehere11.org/

In solidarity,
Floyd Glen-Lambert, Pres., JLC Western Region
Leslie Gersicoff, Exec. Dir., JLC Western Region
