Join the boycott of the Westin in Providence, RI

[Omaha Steve]

Some of you might remember the Westin in Providence, RI -- it was the site of JwJ's 2008 national conference.

Unfortunately, times have taken a turn for the worse, and last week workers at the Westin Providence Hotel, members of UNITE HERE 217, called for a boycott on the hotel in response to hotel management unilaterally imposing a 20% reduction in workers' wages coupled with a tripling of health insurance costs. On top of that, hotel management significantly reduced employees' sick days, vacations, and holidays.

Please sign the petition pledging to stand in solidarity with the Westin Providence Hotel workers. Join us as we call on the Westin Providence Hotel to respect their workers and to respect the work that made the hotel a success.

If you do business at the Westin, let us know how much of your business the Westin is losing. How much do you spend on renting halls or meeting rooms or dining at the Westin? Email [e-mail].

You can also find out about upcoming pickets in solidarity with the Westin Providence Hotel workers by following Rhode Island Jobs with Justice on Twitter.
