More details on the rally can likely be found on the websites of many of the rally sponsors and organizers listed below:

This is a rally in support of good jobs, against corporate greed, and with solidarity for the 98 non-union housekeepers who were lied to, then fired by Hyatt and who are now fighting to be reinstated.

The March will kick off as planned from the Boston Common (across from the State House) at 4:30 PM, we will parade to Verizon (185 Franklin Street) and Bank of America, then march to the Hyatt Hotel for the 5:30 PM rally.

The Boston workers who were fired were all non-union. Unite Here's action in support of these housekeepers is a credit to the labor movement.
