Progressive Librarians Guild opposes the actions of the Hyatt
Company

Be it hereby resolved that the Progressive Librarians Guild
opposes the actions of the Hyatt Company for its mass firing of
housekeepers in Boston and Cambridge. We also oppose the
actions of the Hyatt Company for having regular employees train
temporary employees to cover for regular employees' vacations,
then use those newly trained temporary employees to
permanently replace the regular employees.

We urge all librarians to avoid using Hyatt facilities during the
2010 Midwinter Meeting of the American Library Association.


Approved by the Progressive Librarians Guild. Coordinating
Committee. October 14, 2009.
