*Rally to Demand
Respect and Standards
at Marriott!*

Saturday, February 4th, 2012
11AM-1PM
Marriott Copley-
110 Huntington Ave, Boston


The Marriott, one of largest corporate luxury hotels in Boston is spending
millions of dollars to update their 1,100 room hotel.  This should be great
news for the unemployed tradespeople of Boston.   Unfortunately the
Marriott Corporation is not hiring Unions to do the work.  Marriott is not
hiring men and women from Boston, or even Massachusetts.  The Marriott is
contracting out the renovation of it's luxury hotel to a Philadelphia
based, evangelical substance abuse shelter.  Is the Marriott subcontractor
hiring the most vulnerable in our society to give them a hand up?  Sadly
no, they are paying minimum wage and have pending violations for paying
less then minimum wage.  Further, the Marriott subcontractor houses the out
of state workers in Chelsea, where it charges them $40 a night for the
privilege(a big chunk of a minimum wage pay check).  The Marriott is
already under investigation for labor abuse by Attorney General Martha
Coakley and state secretary of labor Joanne Goldstein is creating a special
task force.   The unemployed of Boston cannot afford to wait for justice,
they need jobs now.

*Please join with the painters and carpenters union, students and community
members to tell Marriott "We the people of Massachusetts need jobs and all
workers deserve respect!"*
