A large national labor union called UniteHere is seeking to organize workers at this particular hotel, as well as others around the country. The union alleges a dispute between management and labor and has asked for a boycott of this hotel. Consequently, UniteHere Local 8, not Hyatt employees, is running a boycott of the Hyatt at Olive 8 and a secondary boycott of NWRPCA. You might hear from this organization because you are associated with NWRPCA, CHAMPS, WCN and/or the Fall Conference. Read the NWRPCA response here.
