BOYCOTT HYATT HOTELS!!

Boston area Hyatt hotels lied to their housekeeping staff by asking them to train vacation fill-ins. However, after the fill-ins were all trained, Hyatt fired all their long-time housekeepers.

Read the story in the Boston Globe. This wasn't even the typical case of a big company trying to get rid of union jobs. The Boston Hyatt housekeepers were non-union employees who had benefits and health insurance. Hyatt just wanted to bring in minimum wage workers through an outside company to get a little bit extra money - another example of corporate greed run wild. Of course, Hyatt will blame the economy.

The question is, if Hyatt doesn't value quality room cleaning services above minimum wage, do you really want to stay there?

Because of Hyatt's greed and lack of concern for its loyal workers, 100 women are out of a job, and without benefits. So please, take a second to indicate to Hyatt if you'd prefer not to stay at their hotels in the future. No one deserves to be treated this way.

ellen	Honolulu	Really nice...replacing loyal hardworking $15/hr workers and hiring minimum wage workers so you can enjoy a few million in profits. You're sick.

Ben Atherton-Zeman	Maynard, MA	I am a travelling actor/educator - I stay in hotels about 100 times per year. I am a Hyatt Gold Passport member, and have stayed in many Hyatts these past few years. However, I was upset to hear of Hyatt's anti-union and anti-gay activities at the Boston Pride march, where I encountered folks from this campaign. Upon hearing about the anti-union activities detailed on this page, coupled with Hyatt's refusal to distance themselves with anti-gay Hyatt owners in California, prompted me to make this commitment and sign this pledge. I have changed my contract rider to reflect this. Hopefully Hyatt will mend their ways and I can go back to staying there - until they do, I will boycott Hyatt. http://www.voicesofmen.org
Ryan	Tampa	As a former employee of Hyatt, I can tell you that this company is corporate at it\'s worst. I will gladly never give another cent to hyatt as I hope you all will do the same. This incident has received the most publicity but there were similar stories at the hyatt I worked at.
Tim Pejsach	New Orleans	I will never stay at a Hyatt owned hotel and I will tell my family and friends to never stay with them.
Bryant J Rabell	Tampa FL	This is an OUTRAGE!! Typical Corporate Greediness!!!! Give these folks their jobs back. And you executives stop taking bonuses, see how you like that!
Jay Stevens	Seattle	This info and link to boston globe story should be posted on all reviews of Hyatt hotels on sites such as tripadvisor, expedia etc; Getting a cheaper hotel room is not worth it if it comes on the backs of the lowest paid employees.
Jonathan Cooksey	Anderson, Indiana	After completing a crappy stay at the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, I will gladly join the boycott.
Yanira Motto	Boston	I will never again stay at the Hyatt even if they do rehire the housekeepers, I dont want to stay at a hotel that even thinks its okay to treat its employees like that.
amanda	new york	these hotels are gross and the service is so bad
Andy	St. Paul, MN	I spent over 150 nights in hotels last year and plenty of those hotels were Hyatts. Never again until the workers there are supported with healthcare and a living wage.
Adam Fine	Boston	I will never stay at a Hyatt Hotel until this wrong is corrected
Mark Hudson	Pittsburgh, PA
Mike Marlin	Sacramento, CA	I'm amazed anyone would deign to stay in a Hyatt let alone attend a meeting there. Man, I really don't dig abuse followed by hipocrisy.
Carolina Fernandez	LEXINGTON, KY	This practice, regardless of who is affected, speaks disgracefully of Hyatt's work ethics.
Renee	San Diego
Daniel Dupill	Los Angeles	This action by Hyatt management is inexplicable - the persons who signed off on this are incompetent and have caused lasting damage to the corporation.

Rachel Schneiderman	State College, PA	I do not plan to stay in Hyatts in the future because of all I've heard over the years. This egregious treatment of the housekeepers in Boston, mostly Latinas and thereby more vulnerable, is the last straw. Fortunately, Hyatt is not the only choice for we who attend conferences but, unfortunately, those housekeepers who can barely -- if at all -- afford to support themselves and their families, must try to find work in a horrid economy.
Toni Chatman	Columbia, SC	Hyatt, you fired housekeepers to "cut costs", but I'm sure you kept your 6-and-up figure employees on the payroll. One of them could have skipped half a vacation and that would have been more than enough money to save the jobs of those fired personnel. Disgusting. I travel often for both work and leisure, and I will not spend another dime at your esbtablishment until you make this right. Furthermore, since my employer pays for my work travel, I will ENSURE that I bring this incident up to them so they don't put anymore of the company budget into supporting organizations that value money over human beings.
tom conten	palm springs, ca	Really awful and deceitful thing to do. You are off my list of places to stay - forever.
Rachel Sealfon	Cambridge, MA
Masey Bajrai	Singapore	Perhaps there is one other party that is not mentioned here, as Hyatt may only manage the property, but who owns the property? Aren't they responsible too?
Eric	Newtown CT	They won't recover from this REALLY STUPID, HEARTLESS move.
Sherry Smith	Newtown CT	Not a good time to pull a stunt like that!
joe marceda	new york, ny	If this is true it is very shameful and wrong.
kristin mcinaney	seattle	My husband and I wanted to stay at Hyatt Bellevue but read about your practices with house keepers in boston and thought better of it.
Debra Roberts	Wilmington
John Henkle	Orlando	I will not stay at any Hyatt until they correct this action.
Sharon McQueen	Stoughton, WI
Karyn Storts-Brinks	Knoxville
Jeannine	Youngstown	Outrageous!
A. Drost	Grand Rapids, MI	Disgusting.
John Coltrain	Boston	I will use the Radisson Nashua who has a huge Ballroom and never would hire temps to fool the housekeepers. I just moved my convention there and they matched the rate!!!!
Jeremy Smith	Holyoke, MA
Jessica Snow	Boston	Minimum wage is for people working their first jobs, not for people that have families and need benefits. Seriously??? Hyatt makes plenty of money, to "save" money by being stingy and deceitful is not good business. No more Hyatts for me :))) Thanks for letting me know your practices!
John	Boston	What Hyatt has done in Boston and is doing around the country exemplifies exactly what is wrong with current management practices and with the direction our country has taken: maximize profits for the few, who already have more than ever in our history, at the cost of the lower and middle class. Did the middle class build America? Where is it heading?
Kathleen de la Pena McCook	Ruskin, FL	I stayed at Hyatt my last attendance of the American Library Association. I will not stay again. I am a librarian who belongs to the Progressive Librarians Guild and I urge librarians to boycott the Hyatt in Boston at Midwinter 2010.
Lana Touchstone	Vallejo CA	How about saving money from the outrageous pay and bonuses of management. This action is as morally repugnant as making the condemned build their own gallows.
Becky	Hastings, MN	Maybe Hyatt's management should take a look at their own website. This action clearly contradicts the following statement that they make: "At Hyatt, we’re committed to making a positive and lasting impact in every community in which we operate. " Another American company that tries to put a pretty face on despicable labor practices.
Jessica Gleason	Wailuku, HI
Jane	San Francisco	It will be easy when I am in Boston in January for a large meeting of the American Library Association to avoid staying at the Hyatt or attending events there, and I shall be urging the Association and other members to do the same.
ann langone	boston	Greedy--Greedy--Greedy-- This is the very reason unions exist!
Jane Hawkanson	Takoma Park, MD	I will be boycotting your hotels until you reverse the action you took against your housekeeping employees. Shame!
Elizabeth Curry		You may have a legal right to fire the housekeepers but the actions shows your lack of moral and ethical awareness. I don't want to do business with companay without moral or ethical foundation. I'm telling my friends as well...so if you don't care about housekleepers maybe you care about all the bad press you are getting.
Peter Gunther	Chicago
Amin	San Francisco
Alex Smith	Santa Clara	I'll boycott from now on. I"ll pass the word to fellow 49ers as well.
Jamie	Austin, TX	I supposed the malicious deeds were legal, but I am, of course, appalled that they are. I would love to tape a list of Hyatt associated hotels to my fridge so I'll know where not to stay.
Mary Bono	Palm Springs	This is just despicable!!
Ralph Melnick	Longmeadow, MA	Shame on you for such a blatant and uncaring display of greed. I will be telling my friends and colleagues about your actions. With so many hotels to choose from, it won't be difficult to find another .
Paige Truxillo	Cypress, TX
Karen Neal	Grinnell	The hotel concern is there bottom line. What about the bottom line of these loyal workers? There has to be a better solution and a win-win situation for the hotel and the housekeepers.
Mary Jo Beranek	New Baltimore, MI	The actions taken in Boston with regard to the dismissal/ replacement of 150 housekeepers with cheap labor to strengthen your bottom line will not have the return on investment that you anticipate. I can’t help but wonder if this is not the just the first step, will you next be replacing your executive chefs, and sous chefs, your wait staff, your hospitality staff , the very people who make your company what it is – for what ,a line item reduction in your overall budget? Clearly the person making these decisions did not think it through. Instead of coming up with a new brand for Hyatt, a new line of marketing, some type of incentive to fill your hotels (with regard to convention, banquet, or family stays) you chose to cut costs at the expense of the very people who work hard to make your business a success. There were so many other options available to your corporation, it is all about branding and this action hurt your brand in a big way. Public outcry will not influence your decision to rectify your mistake with regard to preservation of your public image - therefore, I personally will choose Marriott as my hotel of choice from this point forward - I feel that in this tough economy that this is where I will receive the best return on investment, and it starts with cleanliness and hygiene.
Mary Ann List	Portsmouth, NH	There are too many good choices for hotels in Boston to support poor management practices at the Hyatt.
Theresa A Tobin	Cambridge MA
Texas Traveler		Companies like this are the reason for our economic downturn. It's sickening that this CEO made 7M dollars last year but instead of cutting 1.5 for himself, he saw fit to ruin 100 lives instead.
Jędrzej Raszkowski	Olsztyn(Poland)
Carolyn Clack	Horseheads, NY	I object to your actions. I stay at Hamptons and may have to reconsider staying there in protest of your actions.
Patricia Ewing	Lansing, MI
Winnie McDonald	Chicago
Mark C. Rosenzweig	New York City	As a member of the coordinating committee of the Progressive Librarians Guild (PLG), I am proud that my organization has expressed its solidarity with the Hyatt housekeepers and called upon all librarians to boycott the Hyatt during the upcoming librarians' association (ALA) conference in Boston. We will urge librarians to boycott Hyatt hotels under all circumstances until there is justice for all Hyatt workers.
Bart Birdsall	Tampa	It goes back to treating others how you would want to be treated. Hyatt board members or top people would not want their family members treated this way. I will never stay at a Hyatt if I can help it, and I plan to ask all my friends and family not to stay at one.
C. A. Craig	San Diego	You made the choice to fire your staff housekeepers. My family and I now make the choice to NEVER stay at Hyatt again!
Nancy Dickinson	Manchester	This was horribly wrong. I will not willingly stay at a Hyatt in the future. You cannot treat employees in this manner without getting payback eventually.
Diane Gurman	Los Angeles
Heather Slania	Washington, DC
Eugenia Beh	Austin, TX	I am coming to Midwinter and I have made a point of telling everyone in my network NOT to stay at a Hyatt hotel. I know that ALA will be staying with Hyatt, but I wish they would reconsider. I fear that it will reflect badly upon us as an organization and as a profession if we continue to support a company that even the governor has denounced.
Jennifer	Durham, NC	What you have done is horrible. I will not stay in hotel that has such unfair labor practices.
Patricia Lyons	Camarillo	Shame on you. Everyone deserves a living wage.
ME Culver	Syracuse, NY
Ann Sparanese	Englewood, NJ	Not even considering Hyatt until the 100 get their jobs back. And I am telling everyone I know who travels about it.
Steven	Austin, TX	Not that I've stayed in Hyatts before...but I certainly will never do it now. And I'll encourage all others to do the same.
John Megna	McKinney, TX	Field Engineer, Road Warrior will not use Hyatt
Lorenzo Jackson	washington DC	Your hotels has always been @ the bottom of the barrell when it comes to hospilitality, ur the worse.
Kathleen	Tampa	I will not stay at the Hyatt when my professional association meets in Boston January 2010. My last conference I stayed at Hyatt. If this situation is not rectified I will not stay there again.
Progressive Librarians Guild- Union Action Committee	All U.S. and Canada	[ed. note: see news page, too long to post here]
David	Massachusetts	I'm a travel agent in MA and I will think twice before booking any Hyatt, from now going forward. Shame on you HY !
Steven Zlutnick, Ph.D.	SAN FRANCISCO	Just more of the ususal disrespect for low paid workers. I will definitely avoid Hyatt Hotels (although we already do because of similar practices here in SF
Mark Mc Auley	Dublin, Ireland.	I will never do business with your company. I will do my best to tell all my friends about your methods.
Kev Chew	Boston	Will never stay there nor work with Hyatt and their subsidiaries. It's not right. If really required, offer a temporary salary cut like in many other countries.
Rajeeve Chelanat		I dont intend or can afford to have business with such giants. Still, I think that this act of Hyatt need to be necessarily deplored and protested.
K,W, Annett	Vancouver Canada
Anthony Sansone	West Seneca	I will no longer do business with Hyatt Hotels and I will encourage others to do the same.
Liinda Slack	Baltimore	Jobs are too hard to come by and this is not fair.
Matt Prestbury	Baltimore	"An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." -Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King

John Roosa	Vancouver, BC
Johannes Bach	Salem Mo	This is to sick for words Hyatt you are wrong.
Romi Elnagar	Baton Rouge	You are despicable pigs. I will never stay at a Hyatt again.
delrose	kingston Jamaica	Your enterprise will never prosper with sch unethical practices>
Eric Johnson	Bar Harbor, Maine	Shameful behavior indeed, but, not very surprising. Corporations exist to make profits, period. They will continue to bully the political process to prevent laws that curb their worst behavior until we stand together to stop them.
Doug	Haverhill, MA	Yup, screw the little guy, he won't fight back.............or will he?
Ron Andrews	Charlotte N.C.	I will never stay at the Hyatt until the housekeepers are rehired.
lyn goldfarb	Los Angeles	Respect your workers and the work they have done for you for very little wages for all these years--the Hyatt is only as good as its workers and your attitude has made me realize that I will boycott Hyatt until you re-hire the housekeepers--and accept the fact that they want a union
Dennis O'Neil	NYC	The anger and practical response in Boston and the comments on this petition from folks who not only travel but actually book travel for their employers give me hope that this could actually hit these lowlifes the only place they are likely to feel it--on the bottom line. Maybe they'll have to withdraw their recently announced IPO.
Neal Chalofsky	Takoma Park	For shame!!!!!
Rania Gazawi	Denver, Colorado	I just stayed at a Hyatt in August and I wish I could take it back. This is a disgusting way to treat employees, and I will never stay at a Hyatt again.
Niki Harwood	Boston, MA	Ridiculous!!
Rose Rice	Methuen, MA	Due to Hyatt Hotel's management decision to mislead the newly unemployed housekeeping staff in the Boston area, I will not be booking any rooms at Hyatt Hotels nor will I recommend Hyatt to anyone who requests suggestions for hotel accommodations.
Kristian Hinz	Oakland	the hyatt "touch" is exploitative greed, never again will i stay in any hyatt
Michelle Gross	San Francisco	Firing loyal long-term employees to save a little money is disgraceful. I won't stay at one of your hotels again and I'll encourage others to refrain as well.
Dr. Peter Krejsa	Vienna, Austria	just disgusting
Sue Gorsuch	Columbus, OH	I plan travel for the company I work for. Will I reservae at Hyatt for the travelers I support? No way!
Ron Sheffer	Arlington
Geoff Carens, Union Rep, HUCTW/AFSCME local 3650 [personal capacity]	Dorchester MA	I'm disgusted by Hyatt's actions & will continue to support the laid-off housekeepers anyway I can!!
Jessica	Victoria	If you treat your employees like this, how will you treat your guests? Like chattel?
MJ Lidstone	Beacon NY	I travel a lot for sporting events, and I will sleep under a highway overpass before I will consider staying at one of your hotels again. I hope you greedy pigs all drop dead.
Daniela Covarrubias	Athens, Greece	If the people at Hyatt - and unfortunately they're certainly not unique - had the slightest moral sense when it comes to others (I'm sure they're all faithful to wives/husbands and faithfully attend church, although not paying attention it appears), no comments and no petition would be necessary. Shame!
Russell Brandwein	Newton, MA	I was going to use the Hyatt facilities last Thursday, but I will never use them again until those workers have been reinstated. There are lots of places to stay.
charles harrell	depoe bay	Many who now protest this are the very ones who vote for politicians who promote this sort of unregulated corporate environment. Sadly, there are no politicians who really oppose it.
Dan Wold	New Bern, NC	Please get some character and do the right thing by re-hiring and apologizing to the housekeepers.
Charlie Parks	Birmingham, Alabama
Jeff Pavlak	Washington	Ever thus to deadbeats. The Pritzkers are a dangerous group and should be brought to justice.
Dave Conner	Joliet	What were you thinking? Who is in charge of your PR? Your workers are people and should be treated with respect. What you did was beyond what any reasonable person would do. Good Bye to Hyatt
peter mall	syracuse	shame on you
Stephen T.	Princeton, NJ	This is disgusting. These corporations only justify our preconceived notions of their 'evilness' with this crap.
ruth & manny arzt	massapequa n y	we have no intentions of saying at hyatt hotels in the future
sandy May	auckland	I often book parties of overseas visitors and business people in @ the Hyatt who are here in NZ : Not anymore... I will spread the word throughout the film industry what gives .. Liars !
Charles Faulkner	San Francisco
Marvin Carnes	Bloomfield, NJ	I have been regularly staying at Hyatt Hotels for business purposes several times each year. No More! Despicable behavior! Greed run amuck. Shame on you! I'll not be staying in Hyatt Hotels ever again. No need to. There are plenty of other more responsible, less callously-run hotels.
Alfred Porter	Palo Alto ca
Scott Weisenberger	Asheville, NC	This sort of business practice sickens me.
Jim Creelman	Boston, MA
Robert Fraser	Belfast	Nothing more than sheer unadulterated greed.Will never stay in a Hyatt.
Nooshin	Santa Monica	This kind of conduct hurts everyone.
Alex Koffler	Santa Fe	I will no longer support Hyatt, we will not use them for any events we produce until they do right by these workers.
David Marten	Perth, Australia	get stuffed, greedy bestards, I'll going to prefer local hotels. Intolerable. Disgusting.
Mark Salamon	San Mateo
Liza Berdnik	South Orange, NJ 07079	I will make other hotel choices and pass on the information.
John Ahearn	Geneva	Until they rehire those workers and do so publicly, I will not stay in a Hyatt hotel!
Ekbal Uddin	Dekalb, IL	It was indeed sad to learn about your mean treatment of your most hardworking employees - the housekeepers - who ensure that your guests feel at home by keeping the suites clean and neat. Shame on you. I have decided never ever to stay at Hyatt again.
Ketty Nguyen	Austin	I've stayed at Hyatt before. This is the most awful thing to do to your loyal workers!! These corporations don't know what " loyalty " means. It's all about money for them!! forget them. I'll never stay there ever again.
jess marotta-porter	rollinsford,nh	There is no way would i stay at the hyatt now.These actions just shows the company has zero integrity.
@businessboomer	San Francisco	Hyatt management needs more Corporate Social Responsibility training. Until then...no Hyatt for us, even if they give out free rooms. Have they issued an apology, explanation yet?
Zane	New York	Never stay there again...will tell all my associates too.
PEG	PORT., ME.	So typical of corporate America....
Chris O'Rourke	T or C, NM	will never stay at a hyatt or any affiliate (people should check when they stay somewhere)
Keerthi Atapattu	London	This is terrible. I will remind myself to avoid this chain.
Mitch Polo	NYC	I promise you I will never stay in a hotel again until this is fixed!!!
JESSICA LEWIS	BEVERLY
miguel sanchez	napa	I will never patronize a Hyatt for any reason in the future. This blatant money grab reeks of corporate shamelessness. What's the problem, couldn't get anymore government welfare checks-oops I mean subsidies?
R.Drew E	Denver	about 3 times a year(birthdays and anniv) my wife and I would take a $350 a night suite at the Denver Hyatt...never again until this is settled.
Karen English	Los Angeles	I will definitely be taking my business elsewhere.
Marisela Ibarra	Kansas City	No more staying at the Hyatt for me!
Bob Thorton	Kansas City
Ronald Arbuckle	NEWARK
Kerwyn Foo	Sydney, Australia	The Hyatt brand must realize: just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD. But everyone can play at that game. I travel regularly to the US on business, with my firm giving me the choice of where to stay. So even though I CAN choose the Hyatt brand, why SHOULD I? So I won't.
Mike Wallach	NY	Fuck Hyatt. And I used to stay there all the time.
Norman Foo	Sydney, Australia	Disgusting corporate behavior. Sickening.
Jeannie Williams	Eden Prairie
Angelica Chazaro	Seattle
Joe Lin	Boston	Until Hyatt realizes that service, not pinching pennies, is what makes for a top-end hotel chain, they will not get my business back. The idea of a staffing company sending $8/hr employees into my room at the Hyatt is scary. If there is an issue, will the hotel manager simply refer me to the staffing company?
V.E. O'Donnell	Dedham, MA	I'll never stay at another Hyatt. Interesting that money-saving never starts at the top. Those who make the big bucks cut those folks who make the least. Hyatt management is scum. REINSTATE THE WORKERS AT THEIR PREVIOUS SALARIES!! Start cutting the real fat at the top.
Eric C. Jacobson, Public Interest Lawyer	Culver City, California	[ed. note: see news page, too long to post here]
bbrozsek	los angeles	i find it despicable. no more hyatt for me, friends, family, or business. good night greedy morons
Lester Bruens	Sausalito
kathy johnson	freeport, IL	Shame on you. I loved the Hyatt Maui but no more.
OEF Vet	Randolph	Ok fine lay off the staff to weather this economic storm, I understand that. Then to rehire them later at the same pay and position is understanble but to replace those 100 with cheaper staff, makes no sense, just keep the people you have, that are loyal to your company.
Harry Olden	boston
Judy Bloom	Woodridge	I'm counting on evil getting it's due and your in line.
pat	seattle	" treat you employees the same way you treat your customers" This is my business practice so I'll take my business elsewhere...
John A. Bradshaw	Charlotte
Sharon Alexander	Phoenix, AZ	Hyatt is doing the same thing in Anchorage, Alaska. If they feel it necessary to save money on the backs of workers, then let's take our business elsewhere.
francisco cabanillas	Bowling Green
terry sexton	zimmerman
Paula Tobler	Los Angeles, CA	No more staying at Hyatt for anyone in my family until you pay union workers fair wages.
kay weston	durham, nc	I have never stayed at a Hyatt because I can't afford it. However, I have MANY friends and family taht do. They will no longer! PR is everything and you just blew it! How do you live with your selves?
Carol	Chicago	This is disgusting. Lying to loyal workers then firing them. Shame on you, Hyatt! I will not be staying at a Hyatt hotel again until they treat their workers fairly and make amends to the ones who were unfairly fired. I saw the protests in Chicago on 9/24/09 - keep fighting Hotel Workers! No worker deserves to be treated this way.
Lori Coulson	Columbus, Ohio	You just lost my business.
Sharon	Washington	Sorry--I won't be staying at the Hyatt until the workers are rehired either. There has to be other ways to cut costs. Most hotels will ask their patrons to reuse their towels to save energy and money. People don't mind doing that--they do mind watching these people add to the current list of unemployed. The states unemployment programs are going bankrupt. This is not a solution.
denis kuszynski	LONDON
Hanan Kara	Cambridge, MA	I will not stay at Hyatt Hotels as long as the fired housekeepers are not given back their jobs.
Kelly Keefe	Seattle	The amount of outrage I possess right now is unspeakable. These housekeepers have put in years of loyal service and apparently to a company who never had any intentions of being loyal to them. This is a fine example of the "Hyatt Culture" as they refer to it . The Hyatt could learn a lot by observing the way Hilton Hotels run their business. I wish the housekeepers well, the Hyatt will get their just desserts.
Leslie Creagh	New York	Reinstate your workers immediatly, or I will no longer be staying in your minimum wage sweatshop hotels.
Joseph	Cambridge UK	Greedy bastards
Jerry Garcia	U.S. Virgin Islands	As a very frequent business traveller I have stayed at many Hyatts...but NO MORE!!! Shame on Hyatt!
Sam Salem		I will keep using Hyatt's restroom whenever I am close to one.
Deborah Ullman	Orleans	I travel a great deal -- will make a point not to stay at any Hyatt Hotel until these workers are re-instated.
Mary A.	Rochester, NY	No Hyatt for us, ever! Interesting that Hyatt is owned by Pritzker family. Daughter Penny Pritzker has been credited with engineering wealth-sucking subprime real estate practices. Throw us out of our homes, throw us out of our jobs - it's all the same war on the poor and working people from Boston to LA and everywhere in between.
Syed Abbas	New Jersy	Do you have some shame?
Fatou Drammeh	Revere	This is injustice and it has to stop. Give the workers back their jobs. They deserve better.
Mark Nagy	Collegeville, PA
Kelly	Seattle	Hilton Hotels are the only place to stay. The "Hyatt Culture" as they refer to it is a prime example of what is wrong with some of corporate America today. The Hyatt hotel chain is all about the mighty dollar. Their employees obviously mean nothing to them, as evidenced, and the guests are merely seen as walking dollar signs. Everyone is experiencing the poor economy and if anything Hyatt should have been rallying around its employees not making their livelihoods more difficult. If any traveler wants a truly enjoyable traveling experience stay with Hilton Hotels. They know how to treat their employees and their guests and they have not lost sight of what is truly important to make a successful business.
Dale Lehman	Chicago	No loyalty to their workers means no loyalty to their customers. Management at Boston Hyatt is demonstrating first principles taught at business schools like Harvard: screw the loathsome worker and all power to the money changers. The lack of ethics underscores the corporate business model. Travelers sleep in such an establishment at their own risk.
Mary Grace Whalen	Los Angeles, Ca	I will not stay in a Hyatt again.
Todd Bernhard	Rochester, NY	I frequently book multiple rooms for multiple nights in Boston, for tradeshows for my firm. Now I know which hotel to avoid. Too bad, they have some nice facilities.
Jordan	Raleigh NC
John Perez	Staten Island, New York	A rather Pathetic Move on the part of Hyatt. I can assure you that I will never stay in another Hyatt Hotel EVER again. Ever! I would not even consider the possibility.
Brad Taylor	Iowa City, IA
Robert J. Daniels	New York	Never again will I stay at Hyatt!
Amine	Morocco	i'm not rich enough to go to Hyatt Hotels, but if i ever become, i won't stay there.
Sharon McWade	Milwaukee	Heartless. I will never stay at the Hyatt.
Robert Tomashevsky	Archer
Zaid Isaacs	Johannesburg, South africa	Disgusting, Capitalist greed knows no boundaries, boycott Hyatt worldwide.
Mark Premji	Mumbai, India	Take them back!
Steve Patterson	Alameda, CA	Another example of corporate America pushing the envelope for shameless greed.
Katherine Chauvin	New Orleans	Hyatt Hotel of New Orleans brought in Blackwater mercenaries after Hurricane Katrina to guard the hotel, which served as their headquarters. This only further confirms my opinion of the Hyatt, which also built illegally in East Jerusalem. Best wishes to the women.
Judith Bello	Rochester, NY	These practices are everywhere, but it really is sickening. Especially from a large and lucrative business like Hyatt. I will be happy to stay somewhere else.
Brad Aldrich	Spokane
john hafiz	seattle	If you cannot value your housekeeping staff, you have no right to be in the hospitality industry. You just lost my business

Janine Jarman	Australia
Andy Hamerlinck	Saint Paul, MN	I spent over 300 days in hotels in the last year and now I'm glad not one of them was in a Hyatt.
Stephen L. Willis	Kingston, Oklahoma	This kind of corporate behavior is reprehensible, sexist and inexcusable. There are plenty of other hotels to consider before ever staying at a Hyatt Hotel again.
Harry Olden	Boston	This is not the begining nor the end of this type of behaviour in the usa show your dissent by voting with wallets and feet it may be your job next we need the unions
Bret Hooper		The past year I have eliminated Comcast, AT&T, Chevron as well as some other corporate giants that seek profits over social responsibility. Once out they are out - forever. No to Hyatt - forever.
Ellen Christenson	Stevens Point, WI
Nikki Leger	New York
Chet Sygiel	Jackson, Kentucky	I guess it's time to tell everyone I know traveling to Boston (or to any Hyatt location, for that matter) about the way you all treat your housekeepers. Does greed know no bounds in the business world today?
Bruce Vail	Baltimore	There is still time for Hyatt to resinstate the housekeepers...and then a sign a union agreement to prevent this form happening again.
Dr. Trudy Bond	Toledo, Ohio	Your greed is loathesome. I will never again stay at a Hyatt in any city.
Sandy Davis	Clearwater Fl	travel a lot. Hyatt was always one of my favorites. no more, shame on you guys!!

marilyn hertling	wolfeboro nh	I am appalled that you would fire people who were dedicated workers in order to hire for half-pay people whose backgrounds you don't know. How much do you value the safety of your hotel guests? Not at all. You just care about CEO profit. Cancel my Hyatt membership. I will never stay in ANY Hyatt again. Your company used to signify quality--now it signifies greed and thievery.
Gail Haddad	Elizabeth City
Doreen Haddad	Elizabeth City	What the Hyatt did is despicable!! I hope the Hyatt 100 gets vindication!!

Richard Sentner, Jr.	Yarmouthport, Ma.

Mark Baven	Florence, MA	Shameful!
Robert Williams	Cleveland, OH
Mark Segal	East Hampton	My son is a college student in Boston. I travel there regularly but certainly won't consider staying at a Hyatt.
Ben Hood	Cambridge, MA	Hyatt has no heart. Nobody can live on $8 an hour in one of the most expensive cities in the U.S. Our local and state laws should mandate a living wage to prevent ruthless corporations from slashing wages to such abysmal levels.
Jason Locke	Culver City, CA	You'll need the savings from firing your staff to offset the loss to your business you greedy lying corporatists!

Ken Green	Louisville, KY	For shame. No more Hyatt for me ever.

Paul P McLaughlin	Mashpee, Ma 02649	It is disscracefull how people have allowed this kind of greed to become a way of life............rather than " DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD THEY DO UNTO YOU"
Peter Roberti	Chicago	I am outraged by the Hyatt's action. Aside from avoiding Hyatt's reservation systems, this means I also won't be using blind broker sites anymore (hotels.com, priceline, hotwire), because I can't risk being booked into a Hyatt.

Mark Hornung	San Francisco	I am American AAdvantage Platinum, United Mileage Plus 1K, so I travel a lot. And I will not stay in a Hyatt property until this boneheaded move is reversed.
sandra	new york	I will never stay at a Hyatt! Besides what despicable behavior they practiced on Boston employees, they have also laid off my son who trained and put his heart and sole into a management position and because of economic strain, ousted him!
Jeff	Lenox, Ma	I would rather pay more at a competitor hotel than to give business to Hyatt, not just in Boston but everywhere. A $100,000 reduction in CEO pay would have covered the wage difference of 7 housekeepers
Toni McCrary	West Des Moines
Miriam S. Gonzalzles	Chicago, IL	What Hyatt did was certainly legal. However, having the employees train their replacements under false pretenses certainly seems totally unethical and sneaky. I don't want to do business with a company like that.
Dee Long	Van Nuys, CA	I was a Hyatt employee back in Chicago in the late 70s and they brought in an assistant for me to train, then promptly fired me. Hyatt has ALWAYS treated its employees poorly and don't deserve your business.

Robert Thies	Boca Raton	What has America come to? Hyatt do the right thing-rehire these workers.
Elizabeth Cooper-Garcia	Miami	The fact that after a lifetime commitment by these housekeepers to the hotels, that they just be kicked to the curb and treated with such disrespect is a testament to the lack of ethics in corporate America. I am disgusted by Hyatt's behavior and will not stay at their hotels.
beth bellavance-grace	northampton	shame on them!
Lisa Baskin	Leeds
David H. Smith	Boston
Lisa	Boston	I travel a lot and usually book hotels on bidding Priceline. I will no longer do that in order to avoid being booked into a Hyatt Hotel. Despicable decision on Hyatt's part. You don't ruin people's lives to save a few dollars.
Sally Sprague	Boston	I was planinng my wedding to be at the Hyatt Regency Boston, but what the Hyatt Copr or Phil Stamm decide to do to the 98 housekeeper made me change my plans and now my fiance decide to have our wedding at the Hilton Logan Airport

Chris	Seattle	I do a lot of traveling and have stayed over a dozen times at the Hyatt Harborside Hotel. After hearing this, I won't be staying there again
DAS	San Jose	As a DIAMOND Level Member of their Frequent Stay Program I wonder how important the "Guests" are to Hyatt if they can outsource this most important of job functions inside a hotel....Adios in 2010 until Hyatt gets its priorities in order - UNLESS THESE WORKERS ARE RE-HIRED MY BUSINESS IS GONE - And I have ALLOT of BUSINESS.....disguested!
Tom Lombardi	Madison, Connecticut	While Hyatt picked on the lowest paid workers to cut costs in "these challenging economic times" instead of the fat cats at the top, a state boycott is a dangerous precedent. Will the state come to every laid off situation - who decides what is egregious like this one vs a lay off that is absolutely necessary. Remember, Bush/Chaney used their power recklessly and screwed up the entire country.
steve lambert	nashua nh	Last resort done?
Sam Gordan	Burlington VT	Just an outrage. These corporations need to come back to reality. Maybe cut the executive pay. Enough already

Rick	Denver	I was a Hyatt Platinum member. But now I don't see a reason to be loyal to Hyatt if they are not loyal to their employees.
Brenda Adams	Weymouth MA	I will boycott all of the Hyatt Hotels in the future unless the fired workers are returned. I'd never trust a "transient" temp agency worker with my possessions in my room. That is the height of idiocy!!!!!
Lakota Denton	Northampton MA	I will no longer hold my company meetings in Hyatt Meeting rooms. These guys are scum. no labor = no wealth!
Susan Bytner Peyou	Mercer Island WA	You tried to save a little money with the firing of long term employees. Now you will have to face the wrath of your consumers and boycott of your hotels. All for corporate greed.
Dan Lauko	St. Louis, MO	I'll never stay at a Hyatt hotel.
Doug Belford	Columbia	Re-hire these hotel workers
Thomas Holladay	Arlington, VA	Brilliant work! Better fire the jerks who thought this up too.
Joseph Mastrangelo	Abington	Life comes full circle. You may be saving now but maybe these new workers will unionize and then you will pay later. It is a sad state that you had these people train their replacements.
Robert Geiger	Hollywood, FL	The Hyatt decision makers are so completely and utterly out of touch with the common man, that they should probably be considered a sub-species. It is unbelievable that human beings can be so heartless. I, nor anyone I ever have a chance to influence will ever stay at a Hyatt or sister brands again.
Bob Murphy	Gloucester	Hyatt is off my list for long into the future.
THEODORE & RUTH-ARLENE HOWE	Roxbury, MA	I shall never again stay at a Hyatt. The manner in which this has been handled speaks volumes about the gross disregard management has for its employees.

Marie Clark	Gaithersburg	I will never stay at a Hyatt!

CL	Irvine	Hyatt should be ashamed for what they're doing to these hard working people! The way Hyatt deceived their staff to accomplish their motives is DISGUSTING! I will NOT stay at a Hyatt again!
Suzanne Pena	Fullerton
Lorraine Hobson	Lynn, Massachusetts	The worst kind of corporate greed. These people have no shame!
Kate Dobson	Indianapolis, IN	I travel for work and we host an annual conference with hundreds of attendees. I will ensure that neither I nor my organization will be using Hyatt in future.
Dave Keeler	Acton, MA	So Hyatt treats its' managers well, but behaves in an underhanded way toward employees earning significantly less. Corporate role model for greed - I hope you benefit appropriately from your actions - rethink your position before you end up a case study at the Harvard B-School!
bn	Dallas, texas	I am admired the Hyatt workers for their standing up for what is right or wrong. I hope more IT workers will learn from Hyatt workers lesson. IT workers are devastated just like Hyatt worker for many years. Corps outsource and replace IT workers everyday for the last 10 years but no IT worker even speak up or protest. I can say IT workers are very whimpy. I hope after this event IT workers will realize that that need to stand up for their right too. Good luck...
Brian Claflin	Somerville	What you have done is unconscionable.
AG	China	For room rates, bills and service charge that Hyatt charged for, I'm surprised they couldn't attain the staff. How about allocating some of top millions from execs and top brass to save some loyal employees?
Ann Blair	Binghamton, NY

B F Char	Waltham MA	A boycott is appropriate. Of greatest concern to a customer is the privacy/security more likely with in-house employees.
Laura Curry	Barnstable	This is disgusting behavior. I will not show loyalty to a brand that does not show loyalty to it's employees. The people who made this call should be ashamed of themselves.

Sean Shanley	Richmond	I travel often for work and will not being staying at Hyatt hotels in the future. I have to think that there are better ways to save money--perhaps energy and/or water efficiency--than laying off people who have been loyal to your company.

Austin B. Lynch	Bellflower	Hyatt we're not in the dark ages anymore! Time to evolve at least to the twentieth century, if not the twentyfirst!
Patricia Flannery	Clinton	I will not stay in another Hyatt until this decision is rescinded. As a taxpayer in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I resent being asked to pay for health benefits for your contract workers. Reinstate the workers, give them back their living wages and health benefits.

Ms Bo Burnett	St. Louis, MO	Wrong is wrong. The bigger You are the harder You fall. We The People are for The People. No Hyatt for me again, problem solved or not.
Charlie Marquardt	Cambridge	If you wanted to transition to a new firm you could have at least been upfront with your staff about it. Treat people like adults and you will be treated likewise. This approach is plain wrong. P.S. - Does B.U. still rent significant space in the Cambridge Hyatt?
Garrett Casey	Brookline	I will never stay at any Hyatt hotel again. What you did was disgusting.
Lynn Flandera	Vancouver BC

Kevin Maley	Boston	I am a frequent business traveler and usually get to stay in any hotel of choice, which many times ends up being one owned by Hyatt. Never again.

Stephanie Geuns-Meyer	Medford, MA	Even if I had no moral outrage about this (which I do) I would want to stay only at hotels where cleaning staff are well-cared for and feel they have ownership in the company -- necessary conditions for them to take pride in doing their jobs well.
Carlos Colon	Albuquerque, NM	I will never stay at a Hyatt Hotel again and will urge anyone I know not to stay at any Hyatt facility. In my eyes, Hyatt has become the lowest of the low.
Jack Donovan	Somerville, MA	Greed, greed, greed.
Matt Marotta	Lexington, MA	Not staying at Hyatt anymore. This was terrible.
