Solidarity Alert: How you can support Four Seasons workers
Solidarity Alert from Mass COSH and UNITE HERE!
On May 12, the Four Seasons Boston Hotel fired nearly half its staff. Many, after decades of service, were let go over a brief phone call, told they could not return to the premises, and sent on their way. Let Four Seasons know they must do right by their former employees.
We cannot let this decision go unchallenged. If we do not act, what happened at the Four Seasons could be part of a wave of hotels engaging in widespread terminations in an attempt to permanently eliminate jobs or start over with a lower-paid workforce. The hospitality industry is one of the biggest economic drivers in Boston and one of the few with well-paid working class jobs, many of which are filled by people of color.
Send a letter: Tell Four Seasons this injustice cannot stand.
